Welcome.
Learning at Seisen International School is a challenging, creative and collaborative process.
Students are encouraged from Kindergarten and throughout the whole school to engage in inquiry-based activities and to pursue their own academic interests. Our teachers, all experts in their own fields, partner closely with students and motivate them to meet the concrete and abstract challenges that learning for the 21st Century demands.

AI Disclosure Statement
Seisen International School uses generative AI in thoughtful, ethical, and mission-aligned ways to support teaching, learning, and school operations. AI is one tool among many that helps us enhance instruction, meet diverse learning needs, and improve access for all learners while upholding our commitments to wellbeing, DEIJ, academic integrity, and sustainability. We recognize that AI tools can sometimes produce biased, inaccurate, or convincing but mediocre information, and we use them critically and responsibly.
Teachers may use AI to assist with planning, feedback, language support, and creating accessible learning materials. Professional teacher use is expected to ensure contextualization and improvement of AI suggestions, and all AI-supported work is reviewed by faculty and staff before use. AI does not replace human decision-making or professional judgment at Seisen. Students may use AI only with teacher guidance and must follow age-appropriate expectations in accordance with our AI learning frameworks.
Seisen protects student privacy and agency by using only school-approved tools and avoiding the entry of personal data into public AI systems. We also provide ongoing education for faculty, staff, and students to ensure AI is used safely, ethically, and skillfully.
Our approach is reviewed regularly for safety, equity, and alignment with international standards. Families may contact us with any questions.

"I am from Bulgaria and I have been teaching kindergarten since 1994.
I knew that I wanted to be a teacher at the age of fourteen. The reason I love teaching this age group is because everything begins in Kindergarten. This is a very special time in a person's life when the foundation for future learning is laid. It's really inspiring being in a Kindergarten classroom. Seeing the children's enthusiasm for life, innocence and curiosity about the world reassures me of a better, peaceful tomorrow. Coming from a small country I truly appreciate the opportunity to work in a vibrant international environment. I have learnt so much and grown both as a teacher and a person here at Seisen.
At Seisen every child is valued as an individual and is given opportunities to develop his/her unique strengths and talents, while being an important member of the community."

“I never aspired to becoming a teacher, but it was something I naturally fell into. I left school at 18 and joined the Royal Air Force before moving on to study History at university. After graduating and coaching soccer in the US & Canada I worked with some people who were going to teach English in Japan which sounded like a great idea to me as it meant I could keep travelling, plus returning to the UK and working in an office environment never really appealed to me. After my coaching experiences and teaching English here in Japan for a few years I realized I was reasonably good at it and went back to the UK to become qualified."
"Seisen believes in, "educating the whole child", which means that while academics are important we are not an exam factory. As a teacher here for 8 years and being a parent of a Seisen student for the past four years this is evident in the students interest in service and community building. Seisen students are aspirational but conscious of how their words and actions impact the local and global community."
