UWC ISAK Japan’s Summer School is an exciting opportunity for middle school students to live and learn together on our beautiful campus in Karuizawa, Japan.

Summer School brings together bright, curious, motivated young people (ages 13-14) from a diverse range of countries, cultures and socio-economic backgrounds for what many students say is a “life-changing experience.” Summer School focuses on :

• leadership,
• mindfulness
• and design thinking

Enabling students to become aware of themselves and others, to identify and solve problems individually and with a team, and to gain the inner strength necessary to overcome various real-world challenges.

Students become more globally-minded as they develop the skills and confidence needed to become change-makers who can make a positive impact for the greater good.

As a school, we aim to create an environment where students learn to understand and appreciate different perspectives, challenge themselves academically and emotionally, and develop their innate potential as leaders and changemakers.

According to this mission, and together with our outstanding Summer School Team, we have developed an exciting project-based program full of inquiry and creation, tailored to make the most of the students’ 13-day experience.
