STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE

FENIX children are curious, communicative, capable, confident, and respected.
We strive for our students to be competent global citizens.

  • Inspiring curiosity

    Inspiring curiosity

    Children are naturally curious and want to explore. It allows them to continually grow, learn and question what is around them. Expanding their vocabulary as they use language to describe what they’re thinking, seeing, hearing, or experiencing. A child’s natural curiosity forms the foundation to be successful adults by developing a sense of creativity and imagination.

  • Promote and encourage individuality

    Promote and encourage individuality

    All children are unique with their own characteristics, interests, strengths and weaknesses.
    We respect and encourage their individuality throughout their learning to help create a strong sense of personal identity.

  • Bilingual

    Bilingual

    Early language immersion improves overall academic achievement by enhancing your child’s brain development, memory and cognitive learning.
    Bilingualism promotes awareness, appreciation and acceptance of other peoples and cultures and increases social development such as communication and listening skills ensuring students are better prepared to fully function in a globalized society.

Principals message

FENIX INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL枚方 園長 アダム ジェンキンス

It is my pleasure to welcome students to FENIX International School Hirakata.
FENIX is an inviting, inclusive and vibrant school, offering a quality Bi-lingual learning opportunity in an engaging and stimulating environment.

We provide a Bi-lingual learning environment where children are motivated to have fun, develop their creativity and curiosity to achieve the best possible outcomes in student learning.

We are particularly proud of our curriculum which follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) set out by the Australian Board of Education allowing children to grow emotionally, intellectually and physically in a safe, attractive and caring learning environment.

Our School is organised into two learning communities with a focus on student personalised learning.

· Pre-Kinder – 1 to 2 years old
· Kindergarten – 3 to 6 years old

FENIX International School provides many specialist programs such as Language, Arts, Science, Physical education, Karate etc... that are supported with professional teachers and facilities. Furthermore, the students have access to an exciting array of extra- and intra-curriculum programs that enhance personal and academic achievement within the school.

As your principal I invite you to explore our school’s website to become familiar with the many exciting opportunities we offer.

FACILITY

  • Classrooms

    Each classroom at FENIX is designed with a unique class color theme—light green, pink, light blue, purple, and yellow—creating an international environment distinct from traditional Japanese preschools. To ensure the safety of our youngest students, we also provide cots designed to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), so your child can nap safely and comfortably.

  • ENTRANCE

    Step inside, and you'll be greeted by FENIX's stunning entrance - a space that feels like you've been transported abroad, creating an inviting international atmosphere.

  • Outdoor Play Equipment

    At FENIX, we have a variety of play equipment, including slides, jungle gyms, and tunnels, all set within an artificial grass area. Since all the equipment is installed under a roof, children can play safely and comfortably even on rainy days.

  • Restrooms & Showers

    We understand that privacy is important, especially during personal moments. That’s why all restrooms at FENIX are private stalls equipped with heated seats, providing a comfortable and secure environment for your child every day. In case of accidents or sudden illness, we also have shower facilities available to ensure your child’s well-being.

  • Wooden Deck

    Our stylish and sophisticated wooden deck space is the perfect setting for outdoor activities. On sunny days, children can enjoy a picnic with their lunchboxes here, and during the summer, it becomes a hub for water play and other fun activities.

  • Exterior of the Facility

    FENIX is conveniently located just a 6-minute walk from Makino Station, on the 1st and 2nd floors of the GALA Hirakata Building, right next to McDonald's. For your convenience, there is parking available on the left side as you enter the McDonald's drive-thru.
