I.S.N. provides an environment for multicultural, bilingual, exploration-based learning in
English and Japanese throughout the day in Nagano, Matsumoto, and Nakano. For the I.S.N.
Pre-school, the fact that most activities each day are conducted in English, is only one
feature of our program. Our vision includes a broad and deep holistic approach to learning.

at I.S.N. we believe in creating an environment where all feel welcomed and nurtured.
