Fukuoka International School

"FIS is the school that has taught me how to challenge myself and to try new things, especially because virtually all events are student-hosted. There is a lot of collaboration and communication between students and teachers as well. This is probably the friendliest school I have ever attended!"

"During my 8 years at FIS I have gained many valuable experiences and opportunities. This has been possible by virtue of the kind and supportive FIS community (students, teachers and staff). Although we are a small community, I believe that the energy and geniality we have here at FIS is something very special."

"Fukuoka International School undoubtedly has one of the friendliest environments. The internationally respected IB program has allowed me to gain precious academic experience in subjects that I am interested in. Students and staff have also created a great community for me to improve my leadership skills by supporting student-led projects with great enthusiasm."

"Because FIS is a small, close-knit community, students of all ages have the opportunity to pursue leadership roles within our school. From working on the Student and Athletic Councils to organizing clubs alongside staff, each student can engage in activities that interest them and make our school an even better place."

“The well-being of teachers is definitely something I consider when applying to work somewhere. There is a balance of work and personal life here at FIS and I am grateful to everyone who takes our well-being seriously and makes this possible.”

“I love the tight-knit community feeling FIS has. You feel like you know everyone regardless of whether they are a staff member or student in any grade level. It is a welcoming community base where everyone feels at home.”

“A small school like FIS has an invaluable perk: a pleasant atmosphere. You get to see familiar faces everyday, build strong bonds, and connect with teachers as people and not just lecturers.”

“From day one, we immediately fell in love with the school. Nestled in the seaside part of the city, FIS provides a great atmosphere, access to arts and culture, and provides real, meaningful learning experiences.”

“The teachers at FIS are always making sure that you are able to understand what is being taught and try to find ways that make learning that topic easier and more fun for all students. ”

"FIS is a great place to work because of the family atmosphere, commitment to growth, and an overall sense that it is a safe place to learn. Our mission statement encompasses the values and strong guidance that students, parents, and teachers will need in our current and future world."
