IISO PRIMARY SCHOOL
Building Strong Foundations in Academics, Language, Character, and Faith
At IISO Primary, we provide a holistic and nurturing learning environment where children grow academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. Our program integrates the Cambridge Primary curriculum, the ICO Islamic & Qur’an curriculum, and a strong bilingual focus on English and Japanese.
We believe the primary years are the foundation of a child’s lifelong learning journey. Our mission is to cultivate confident, curious, compassionate learners who love knowledge and embody Islamic values in their daily lives.
