Japanese International School is a small I.B. World School in the New Territories of Hong Kong. The school has around 170 students from an average of 25 different nationalities from around the world. In 2016 a local education journalist wrote: 'It seems I may have found what many parents may consider as the holy grail of international primary schools in Hong Kong - a very small but authentic community school with creativity at the core, sharing an impressive campus and the facilities of a school ten times its size' 'Principal Walton leads a happy student body and a passionate, close-knit teaching staff with a kindness and patience that is unique in our bustling and overstimulated city... Surrounded by lush greenery, JIS is located in a beautiful setting.'
