For Companies

We receive many enquiries about schools for the children of employees from the human resources departments of international companies that send many expatriates abroad, and our boarding school is considered as a place to enter or transfer to.

NUCB International College is a co-educational full boarding high school and its official language is English. We will use the Harvard case method of education, which has been successfully used to educate leaders worldwide and will train leaders. Accepting a wide range of students from Japan and abroad, NIC will provide world-class teaching with a focus on personal development and academic excellence.

One of the most attractive features of NIC is that it is a fully-supervised and self-contained boarding school, located on the picturesque NUCB campus. The programme and boarding arrangements are specially designed for both international students and Japanese nationals that have lived overseas for extended periods, and students from domestic Japanese schools who have a suitable level of communicative and academic English proficiency are also welcome.

To Rturniees

One of the most difficult challenges facing Returnee students is to overcome the confusion and rejection that often goes with moving between countries and new schools. Indeed for many students, although their parents may be Japanese, the shock of moving from a western style school environment, for example, to a Japanese style school environment may be overwhelming for them and of course this can have a long-lasting impact upon their studies and academic outcomes. At NIC we understand the situation of these students well and the difficult choices that their families need to make in selecting a suitable school environment, and so we have put in place systems to cater precisely for these circumstances and provide for as smooth a transition as possible. Whether students have been away from Japan for 3, 5 or 10 years we expect that NIC will soon feel like a home to them with caring teachers and dormitory staff to support and nurture.
We also understand that students may have a variety of future pathways in mind such as preparation for entry into a traditional Japanese university or returning to the overseas country that they knew so well. These are not always an easy decisions to make and student perspectives may change over time. With the NIC Career support system students are carefully guided in a reflective way so that students can make solid and well-informed decisions when they actually need to.
