Who We Are
The transformative learning experiences at Camelot International School are designed to help our students grow both in and out of the classroom. Founded in 2014, our main campus is located a 2-minute walk from Kotake-Mukaihara Station, with our annex building situated about a 5-minute walk from the main campus.
As of September 2026, with 85 students across the entire school and around 20 dedicated and passionate teachers and staff, we work together to provide innovative learning experiences while fully supporting our students so they can grow into individuals who contribute not only within Japan but to the world.
What We Value
At Camelot International School, we respect each of our students and strive to understand and guide their individual wants and needs.
We believe that true learning can only be fostered when there is a shared understanding of mutual respect, proper guidance, and a clear direction and goals among teachers, students, and parents, and we do our very best to maintain these shared values in everything we do.
We take pride in our unique approach, supplying our students with the proper support and guidance that will help each individual walk the path toward a bright future.
Primary School
At Camelot, we value the importance of building up our students' basic knowledge and skills from an early age. This allows students to establish solid learning habits and routines at school and prepares them for successful learning in secondary school.
For students in the primary division, we focus on learning experiences that strengthen and encourage their interest and enthusiasm to learn.
While many subjects follow textbooks aligned with the Cambridge Curriculum, we specifically implement the Singapore Math Curriculum for mathematics. Known for helping students theoretically grasp numerical concepts, this curriculum aims not only to cultivate strong English proficiency but also to foster a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics.
Furthermore, to enhance awareness as members of the school community beyond academics, we encourage participation and collaboration among students in various in-school activities, dedicating ourselves to character education to help them grow into thoughtful and independent individuals.
We believe that supporting development across three pillars—academics, character (heart), and physical health—is a crucial component of school education. Our goal is not simply to nurture students who excel academically, but to develop balanced individuals who have kind, thoughtful hearts along with sound, healthy bodies. We view the primary school years as a vital period for building this foundation.
Lower Secondary School
In September 2017, we launched our lower secondary division.
Grounded in Camelot's commitment to "cultivating a nurturing, inclusive, and student-centered environment," students in the lower secondary division are expected to set and actively pursue their own goals, while respecting and supporting one another to achieve those goals.
Our teachers remain dedicated to accurately understanding each student's individual needs and providing the proper guidance required to help them achieve their goals.
From Grade 6 to Grade 8, classes proceed using textbooks aligned with the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme, which focuses on essential skills for studying within an international framework.
Continuing from the primary division, lower secondary students follow the Singapore Math Curriculum. Through the strong mathematical foundation built over these 8 years, the program ensures students are thoroughly prepared to tackle the IGCSE Mathematics curriculum.
As in the primary division, we encourage student participation and collaboration in various school activities to foster community awareness beyond academics.
As students enter an age that requires significant growth outside of academics—navigating physical changes, adolescent emotional conflicts, and relationships with family and surrounding society—our teachers and staff light the way ahead, guiding, encouraging, and standing by them as they learn to face their emotions and grow into thoughtful, independent individuals.
We believe that supporting development across three pillars—academics, character (heart), and physical health—is a crucial component of school education. Our goal is not simply to nurture students who excel academically, but to develop balanced individuals who have kind, thoughtful hearts along with sound, healthy bodies. We view the lower secondary years as a period where students must overcome many challenges together to achieve this.
Upper Secondary School (IGCSE & A-Levels)
In September 2019, we introduced the Cambridge IGCSE Programme, and in September 2021, we launched the GCE A-Level Programme.
Although we are a very small school and had years without a graduating class, our track record for university placement has steadily grown since our first graduating class progressed to university in June 2023.
Program Overview:
The upper secondary division consists of a two-stage program.
Because upper secondary studies are highly specialized, they demand greater focus and independent learning. At this age, learning cannot progress smoothly if any uncertainty remains in basic or applied academic skills. We believe that the foundation built in primary school, the applied skills and self-discipline acquired in lower secondary school, and high academic achievement combined with rich character developed through further effort in upper secondary school will brightly illuminate our students' paths.
IGCSE:
Students learn through a program structured over two years, Grade 9 and Grade 10.
Using textbooks aligned with the Cambridge Curriculum, students study a wide range of subjects. Towards the end of Grade 10, from May to June, students sit for official Cambridge examinations on campus to certify their completion of Grade 10 and receive an official certificate from the UK.
GCE A-Level:
During the two years of Grade 11 and Grade 12, students focus their studies on subjects in which they excel or wish to pursue after entering university.
This level of study is recognized in the UK as equivalent to the first year of university; as a result, students achieving high results can complete a UK university degree in three years.
Therefore, students must identify their strengths and weaknesses through their IGCSE studies, as the official Cambridge examination results taken near the end of Grade 12 heavily impact university admission.
However, Cambridge exam results alone do not dictate university admissions. While it is easy to focus solely on academic results in upper secondary school, everyday conduct at school is equally important.
As adolescents, students must build physical health, train their minds, and prepare to enter society at large. At the same time, they need to understand the importance of being conscious of their role as Camelot students, building supportive human relationships, and strengthening perseverance to achieve their goals to the end. They must also recognize the importance of living a disciplined school life in accordance with school rules as members of this small society. We believe that students who understand how to think critically and act to solve problems not found on tests deserve higher recognition than those who merely achieve high test scores.
We are dedicated to serving as companions alongside our students, ensuring that balanced individuals with human strength—not relying solely on academic ability—can graduate and leap toward a hopeful future.
