PORTABLE SCHOOL
School education,
made portable.
Sports, dialogue, projects, core academics, friendships, social growth. We take everything a school building used to provide, bring it fully online, and let children learn “beyond school” from anywhere in the world — the core technology, built by NIJIN, behind an NGA education.
We erased every
“you can’t do that online.”
Most online schools can stream lessons and materials — but PE, making friends, and school events never made the jump online. NIJIN Academy has refined “an entire school, brought online” with more than 1,000 children, and the work has earned wide public recognition.

Six functions of school,
right in your pocket.
The six things a traditional school delivers inside its building, NGA delivers online — and in many cases, in a form that goes beyond school.
Home PE (3×/week, Mon/Wed/Fri). Three teachers take turns leading everyone in movement on screen. Even online, exercise becomes a weekly rhythm.
Dialogue-based classes of 8 × class meetings × daily check-ins. By voice, by chat, or through their work — every child finds their own way to communicate.
Real-world PBL with companies and local governments (2×/week). Children take on authentic challenges — co-created with partners like Panasonic and SoftBank — alongside peers around the world.
CEFR level-based elective classes + AI vocabulary practice (15 min/day) + Cambridge IGCSE (optional). We design a just-right challenge for each child, every week.
Classes of 8, after-school clubs, and Friday’s “Tables of the World.” Learn side by side every day with friends in Bangkok and Sydney.
Class meetings, all-school homeroom, culture and sports festivals (in-person × metaverse), and international exchange. Social skills grow inside a safe, multi-layered community.
Portable doesn’t mean less.
It means beyond school.
Bringing school fully online isn’t a substitute for school. It makes possible what a school building never could.
Classmates across Asia and Oceania. Cultural difference becomes everyday learning material.
A transfer, a return home, a move abroad — wherever you go, learning continues with the same teachers and friends.
With the double-school option, just after school and on Saturdays. Add a global education without leaving your current school.
From one-on-one mentors to the whole school, our multi-layered safety net comes online as well. Everyone has a place to belong, wherever they are.
These awards and results reflect recognition earned by NIJIN, Inc. and founder Tatsuro Hoshino for the work of NIJIN Academy. NGA opens on top of this technology and hard-won practice.
