Hello, everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about ISN. My name is Igor Coric, and I have been a part of ISN since 2017, working as an assistant and homeroom teacher. From this school year, I will be taking on the role of head of Minami campus.

The ISN Minami campus is a home to students from the age of 2 to the age 6, and teachers and parents from many different countries. We are proud of teaching international mindedness at this campus for over 10 years now, and being the first International Baccalaureate-accredited preschool in the prefecture. We are also proud of our central location, easily accessible from central Matsumoto, as well as being a short drive away from the surrounding nature.

Since its inception, ISN has been dedicated to creating inquiry-based learning environment that does more than teach students facts – it encourages the students’ curiosity and willingness to learn, and develops their skills. We believe that both these things have a long-lasting impact on a student, making them a life-long learner.

We do this by being life-long learners ourselves: our teachers keep inquiring into new ways to teach and collaborate with each other, in order to make the best learning environments for their students. We are also dedicated to collaborating with our parents, neighbors, and the entire school community. We believe it is true what they say: it does “take a village to raise a child”.

It fills me with incredible joy to know that you are entrusting us with the education of your child, one of the most important steps they can take towards a happy future. Let’s support them together in exploring, inquiring, and achieving their goals!
