Our calendar is set to achieve the best balance between educational and family needs. We take account of some national holidays such as New Year and Golden Week and  the calendar is set in consultation with other international schools.   

St. Michael’s International School believes that uniform is an important aspect of our School’s identity, as well as being an integral part of our tradition and history.

Children can bring their own lunch (bento)  or go home for their lunch.  Children who go home for lunch must be collected by a parent or authorized adult.  

We offer a bus service for students living in the Mikage and Ashiya areas. A bus monitor supervises the children and a digital camera records passengers during their journey.

Whether you are a student attending a local shogakko or an SMIS parent  wanting to improve your communication skills we have a programme for you.  Click the link below to explore the language opportunities that are available in our SMIS-English section.

St. Michael’s International School is conveniently situated on the edge of the popular residential area of Kitano which is considered to be a safe, family-friendly location that many foreigners and Japanese make their home.
