Do Happy


Maybe you’ve felt this

If school has ever felt too small for your child…

You are exactly the family we built this for. Every worry below has a different ending here.

😮‍💨

“My child has never quite fit a regular school.”

Here the environment changes to fit your child — not the other way around. Children once labeled “special needs” become superheroes here.

💸

“International school is just too expensive for us.”

About one-fifth the usual price — ¥55,000 a month. World-class learning, finally within reach.

😣

“They’re worn out by the race for rank and scores.”

We don’t rank children. We help them sharpen who they are — and use it to make others happy.

✈️

“We move countries — their learning keeps getting cut off.”

School is no longer a place. It travels with your child, anywhere in the world.

Be Happy → Do Happy
Our Philosophy

Two powers in every child.

The power to be happy — to be fully themselves — and the power to do happy — to make someone else’s day a little brighter. Most schools pick one. We grow both, every single day.

Be happy first. Do happy follows.

How we’re different

Not more expensive. Not more exams. More dialogue.

Good online international schools already exist. We don’t copy them — we answer a different question.

In-person international schools

Too expensive, city-only

¥200,000–300,000 a month. Limited to big cities. Built around a Western-centric idea of success.

Existing online inter-schools

Little dialogue, exam-first

Often a one-way feed of lessons, optimized for the race to a top university and a big company. The child rarely gets heard.

NIJIN GLOBAL ACADEMY

Dialogue beyond the in-person room

Classes of eight, every day, where even online the dialogue goes deeper than a physical room. We unlock the individuality and the real strength a child didn’t know they had — so they can be themselves, and make someone happy. ¥55,000 / mo.

World-class, not high-cost

Typical international school: ¥200,000–300,000 / mo
US$365 / mo
≈ ¥55,000 a month — about one-fifth the price
Twice-weekly live classes · 50+ subject periods a month · a bilingual mentor for every child · monthly JICA exchange. No hidden fees. Sibling discounts available.

The world as a classroom

A friend in Bangkok. A friend in Sydney. Same class, today.

In classes of eight, kids from across Asia and Oceania learn together every day. “The foreign student” doesn’t exist here — everyone is foreign to someone, and local to themselves. Culture stops being a costume and becomes a lens.

A day at NGA

A rhythm so no child gets lost behind the screen.

Twice-weekly live class meetings and a daily rhythm built on dialogue. Times shift by time zone across Asia and Oceania — the shape stays the same.

Two Diplomas, One Child

Two kinds of proof of who they are.

01

Academic credential

Optional Cambridge IGCSE / A-Level & CEFR pathway, via a UK-accredited partner school. The language universities know.

02

Who they really are

A US competency transcript read by 400+ progressive schools and universities like Stanford & MIT — for what a test can’t measure.

Never have to choose

One says “can hold their own anywhere.” The other says “already makes the world better.” Your child leaves holding both.

Recognition

Evidence, not boasts.

Japan's largest alternative school, NIJIN ACADEMY, now serves 800+ children — kids who had stopped going to school are thriving again. The world has noticed.

A quiet honesty

Who NGA is for — and who it isn’t.

You’ll feel at home if you believe…

  • Character matters more than grades.
  • Individuality is sharpened in diversity, not erased by it.
  • School should grow communication and humanity, too.
  • “Different” is a beginning, not a problem.

Maybe not for you if…

  • One top-ranked university is your single goal.
  • You want maximum test-prep hours each week.
  • You want your child ranked, daily.

Rigorous academics, yes — Cambridge IGCSE & A-Level are fully available. Academics as the measure of a person, no.

100 spots. September 2027.
One conversation away.

No entrance exam. No selection. Just an unhurried chat — every weekday, in English or Japanese, in your time zone. Free trial classes are planned monthly from September 2026.
