The full IB Diploma experience.
Wherever you are.

The Aoba Global Campus Online IBDP is a complete Diploma Programme: six subject groups, Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, CAS, and full internal and external assessment. Developed in cooperation with the International Baccalaureate Organisation as one of the world's first fully online DP pilots, our goal is simple but radical - remove as many barriers to world class international education as possible, allowing students to achieve the IB Diploma from anywhere .

The programme includes a bilingual diploma track for students with proficiency in both English and Japanese, alongside subject offerings across Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts. Classes run live, five days a week, taught by full-time faculty who know every student by name. Independent study blocks and extracurriculars fill out the rest of the week providing a full international school experience in the cloud.

Our students come from everywhere: families mid-relocation between countries, athletes training at international level, students in cities with no IB school in reach, and many who choose Aoba's Global Campus because of the unmatched flexibility, international perspective, and future oriented nature of our programme.

Enjoy While You Learn

Our students don't sit through lectures alone at a screen - they debate ideas in live seminars, collaborate on projects with classmates across time zones, and build genuine relationships with teachers who know them by name. The rigor is real, but so is the fun - ask any student, and they'll tell you the same thing.
Learning here is interactive and unexpected in the best way. For our collaborative science project, instead of doing a traditional study, we actually used Minecraft to design and build a functional water recycling system. It was really fun and engaging.

A common challenge in the IB Diploma Programme is finding time for both your homework and extracurriculars. Aoba's online format gives me the opportunity to dedicate time to both academics and personal growth.

Collaborative group work helps me so much in understanding the content of each unit, and being able to look back at saved lesson whiteboards has been a lifesaver for my study routine.

I'm doing much better in Math and Biology than I thought possible. Every class has a centralized digital repository for materials and homework that is arguably even better organized for learning than traditional school.

Weekly Timetable

Between 10am and 5pm JST, our students are in live classes with teachers and classmates - not watching pre-recorded lectures alone. Independent study blocks are built right in, giving structure to reflect and go deeper, while extracurricular time keeps the week from ever feeling like just academics. It's a rhythm designed around people, not just periods.
