Bunka Suginami Canadian International School

Bunka Suginami Canadian International School (BSCIS) in Tokyo is a British Columbia-certified offshore school pioneering the revolutionary Double Diploma Programme for grades 7-12. Located in Asagaya, Suginami Ward, BSCIS allows students to simultaneously earn both the Japanese high school diploma and the Canadian (British Columbia) high school graduation certificate — opening doors to universities in Japan, Canada, the UK, and worldwide. The school's unique dual curriculum model delivers BC Ministry-approved academic content in English during dedicated periods while students also fulfil Japanese high school requirements. Native English-speaking teachers hold BC teacher certification and deliver inquiry-based, student-centred learning consistent with Canadian educational standards. Students graduate bilingual in English and Japanese, with full academic credentials recognised by institutions across two major educational systems. BSCIS provides a supportive international learning community within the structure of a Japanese high school, giving students the best of both educational worlds. The Double Diploma Programme has been recognised as an innovative model for international bilingual education. Tokyo's diverse international community benefits from BSCIS's unique approach to bridging Eastern and Western educational excellence, producing globally competitive graduates.
