Gunma International School is located in picturesque Maebashi and Takasaki Gunma. Gunma is located at the northwestern edge of the Kanto region. We are able to enjoy a nice mixture of calm urban city life while having a plethora of other outdoor activities! We are also only 1.5 hours by normal train from central Tokyo, so hopping on the train and going into Tokyo for a day is within anyone’s ability. Prices are lower in Maebashi and Takasaki areas than in metropolitan areas. It is safer and easier to live, too.

GIS-Gunma International School is dedicated to education and safety for each of our students. We are still a new school and company, but we have clear goals and paths for our future.

If you are an enthusiastic, curious individual with an innate ability to connect with kids, we want to hear from you.
