UPBEAT International School’s Tempaku campus provides an elementary education for students ages 6 to 12. As an authorized IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), instruction is bilingual, blending Japanese and American educational practices. Students study core subjects—English, Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Japanese—while engaging in inquiry-based projects that require them to lead their own teams, particularly during school-wide events like the student-led Sports Day. The campus features an executive school building that opens directly onto a large outdoor school yard, heavily utilized for physical education and transitions between indoor and outdoor learning. A distinct feature of the school is its focus on nutrition and health; instead of requiring packed lunches, the school provides daily hot meals prepared on-site by licensed chefs under a dietitian’s guidance, with specialized menus available for children with allergies. The school also runs its own bus routes and offers an extensive After School Boys & Girls Club for continued supervised learning.
