Aoba-Japan International School and our Aoba Global Campus (AGC) are proud to announce a significant new partnership with Scholastic International School Myanmar (SISM).This collaboration officially designates SISM as an Aoba Global Study Center, creating a powerful new, synergistic pathway for students in Yangon to access a world-class international education.

‍A New Model for International Education

‍This partnership is rooted in a shared vision: to widen access to high-quality, pre-university education, and to connect students across borders to achieve the most internationally enriching experience possible. It bridges the divide between conventional and digital learning spaces by combining the flexibility of Aoba's Online IB Diploma Program with the outstanding on-campus environment at SISM.For students in Yangon, this "best of both worlds" approach provides a clear advantage:

• A "Home Base" for Learning: Students enrolled with Aoba Global Campus can use SISM's central Yangon campus as their "home base," providing on-site resources and in-person support for their daily studies.
  
• Dual-Community Benefits: Students become fully integrated members of Aoba-Japan International School's global network while simultaneously gaining access to the daily benefits of SISM's campus, facilities, and social life.
  
• Enriched Academic Opportunities: This unique position allows students to pursue extracurriculars offered by SISM, including their acclaimed Scholar's Program, alongside their Aoba IB Diploma.
