Global Alliance Partners
New Horizons Education is a valued strategic partner of Kyoto International School (KIS), dedicated to advancing high-quality international education across Asia. Established in April 2022, New Horizons was founded as a global learning hub, offering students in Japan an immersive, study-abroad-like environment where they can acquire authentic English skills and cultivate a truly international mindset.
With deep expertise in English education and international school leadership, New Horizons is committed to helping children realize their full potential and grow into compassionate, capable leaders in a multicultural world. Its educational philosophy emphasizes both global competence and foundational Japanese values such as respect, responsibility, integrity, and courtesy. Through a trilingual learning environment, New Horizons nurtures a strong sense of diversity, empathy, and inclusive leadership.
As a strategic partner to KIS, New Horizons contributes to key areas including governance, international partnerships, and operational development. More importantly, it actively expands opportunities for both students and staff—ranging from academic enrichment and cultural exchanges to professional development and innovation initiatives—that were previously unavailable. These efforts have introduced new collaborations, programs, and access to global networks that broaden perspectives and strengthen the school's long-term sustainability.
New Horizons' vision aligns closely with KIS's mission to inspire, support, and empower learners in a diverse and inclusive environment. The organization continues to work closely with the KIS Executive Board, Board of Trustees, and school leadership to ensure the school remains a mission-driven, forward-thinking institution committed to excellence, equity, and international-mindedness.
