50th Anniversary Musical Summer Program

Aoba-Japan International School (A-JIS), operated by a group company of Aoba-BBT, is holding a specialized musical summer program from July 19 to August 1, 2026, at its Bunkyo Campus.

The featured production is the Broadway musical comedy 'Anything Goes (Youth Edition)'. Over 12 days, students will engage in an all-English intensive program focusing on tap dance, jazz, harmony, and acting. All instruction is provided by professional educators and active performing artists, culminating in a full-production performance at Jassy Hall, complete with professional stage lighting, sound, and costumes.

This program is open to both A-JIS students and external students in Grade 6 or above. The application deadline is May 31, 2026, at noon.

Additional Summer Programs - Hikarigaoka Campus: Inquiry-based curriculum featuring a special workshop week with professional magicians (June 15 – August 7, 2026). - Kanazawa Campus: Simulated short-term study abroad experience ahead of the planned 2027 opening (July 27 – August 7, 2026).
