Nagano Campus Summer Program (Eligible: Kindergarten – Senior Kindergarten)
ISN Nagano Campus Summer Program 2026

— A Summer Where World-Class Learning Meets the Great Nature of Shinshu —

Give your child a special summer that expands their possibilities.
The ISN Nagano Campus Summer Program, designed exclusively for Kindergarten and Senior Kindergarten children, offers an inclusion-style learning environment where participants spend time alongside current ISN students who attend the school daily and have a strong command of English.

This program goes beyond simple language learning. Children will enjoy a wide variety of activities that stimulate creativity and curiosity, including dance, crafts, water play, and art. In addition to field trips that allow children to experience Nagano’s rich nature and culture, the Senior Kindergarten class will also take part in a special program at the Nakano Campus, nestled among the magnificent Hokushin Five Mountains.

All activities are conducted entirely in English; however, no prior English ability is required. In a truly international environment filled with diverse experiences, children are encouraged to grow naturally and confidently. Why not watch your child thrive in Nagano this summer?

Starting in the 2026 school year, ISN Summer School has evolved into a new style of learning.
To provide a more consistent and in-depth educational experience, we have changed the fee structure from a per-day basis to one-week and two-week plans. With the previous one-day participation format, experiences sometimes remained brief, and opportunities to build relationships could be limited.

From this year onward, our updated program offers:

✔ Ample time to spend with the same group of peers

✔ Opportunities to engage deeply in project-based learning

✔ A clear sense of each child’s growth and development

Through continuous participation, we have created an environment that supports meaningful learning and lasting connections.

From this year, all applications for ISN Summer Programs will be accepted exclusively through the official ISN LINE account. Even families who have participated in previous years are kindly asked to apply via LINE for the 2026 program.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Nagano Campus Office at nagano@isnedu.org.
