Online International School · Asia & Oceania
Learn to love yourself,
and the world.
Step off the exam race. A beyond-the-rankings online international school for ages 6–18 across Asia & Oceania. Opening September 2027.
You never really wanted to put
your child through the exam race.
But you couldn’t find the path “after stepping off.” Across Asia, countless children are made to feel “I’m not good enough” by the race for test scores — 350,000 children stay home from school in Japan alone, and exam pressure drives some to take their own lives. NGA has let go of that measuring stick. Whether your child has withdrawn from school, learns differently, or lives anywhere in the world — here, through dialogue and encouragement, they grow to love themselves and the world.
“Regular school just doesn’t fit my child.”
We fit the environment to the child, not the child to the environment. Kids once labeled “special needs” become the heroes of the class here.
“International school is too expensive for us.”
With no campus to fund, tuition is far more within reach than a typical international school. You don’t have to give up on a globally connected education.
“We’re worn out by the race of ranks and scores.”
We don’t rank. In diversity, each child sharpens who they are and grows the power to be themselves and make others happy.
“Every move or return home interrupts learning.”
School is no longer a “place.” It travels anywhere in the world, with your child.
Not a school for “winning.”
A school for loving yourself — and the world.
Step off the meaningless exam race. NGA is the only beyond-test-scores online international school in Asia.
Not content delivery.
Not one-on-one cramming.
Who you’re with matters more than what you do
Not facing materials alone, not one-on-one drilling. Meeting peers is the engine of learning.
Learning is born from dialogue
Not lectures to absorb, but thinking that grows through real conversation.
Safe enough that you just dive in
Not competing, but cheering each other on. In a warm, psychologically safe space, “made to” becomes “want to.”
The 7 things NGA holds dear
What we will never trade away.
Who you’re with > what you do
Meeting peers is the engine of learning.
Learning is born from dialogue
Thinking grows through conversation, not lectures.
Cheer, don’t compete
No ranking — we recognize and encourage.
Safe enough to just dive in
Psychological safety sparks “want to.”
Be an orchid, not a dandelion
Talent blooms biggest in the right soil.
The whole world is the classroom
Society and the world as our textbook.
Be yourself, make someone happy
The power to be happy, and to make others happy.

🌏 Classes of 8
A friend in Bangkok.
A friend in Sydney.
In the same class, today.
In classes of eight, children across Asia & Oceania learn together every day. There are no “foreign students” here. Everyone is someone’s foreigner, and everyone is a local. Culture isn’t a costume — it’s a lens for seeing the world.
A day where no one — on the other side of the screen — is left behind.
Live classes twice a week, and a daily rhythm built on dialogue. Times shift with Asia–Oceania time zones, but the flow stays the same.
The world, or home.
There’s more than one path.
With two diplomas in hand — universities abroad and at home, specialised paths, entrepreneurship, the arts. Your child’s own road. “A good university” isn’t the only goal.
Proof of ability
Optional Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level & CEFR via UK-accredited partners. A common language universities can read.
Proof of character
A competency record read by 400+ progressive US schools and the likes of Stanford & MIT. The strengths tests can’t measure.
Many possible paths
Universities abroad or at home, specialised training, entrepreneurship, the arts — with both proofs in hand.
Not boasting — evidence.
NGA is built on NIJIN Academy, one of Japan’s largest alternative schools. Kids who couldn’t attend school get their spark — and themselves — back here.
“I realized I had so many friends here. We felt connected to society — as a family, we’re so glad we chose NIJIN.”— A NIJIN Academy parent
Recognition received by NIJIN, Inc. and its CEO Tatsuro Hoshino for NIJIN Academy’s work.
I didn’t “fit” in Japan —
and the world taught me to like myself.
“The power to think and imagine grows in proportion to the distance you travel.” In diverse worlds, a child rediscovers themselves — and the world. “I’m not good enough” becomes “I love who I am, and the world too.”
— Tatsuro Hoshino / Founder, NIJIN Academy
