ISAK Summer School is an English-based academic program for motivated middle school students from around the world, with a focus on helping students develop their leadership, negotiation and creative problem-solving skills as they interact with other youngsters from a wide range of countries, cultures and backgrounds.

US-Japan Foundation scholarships cover the cost of Summer School tuition (approx. US$3000), as well as round-trip airfare to Japan and transportation from the airport to the ISAK campus.

All students currently in grades 7-8 (grades 8-9 as of Sept. 2013) who are US citizens attending school in the US are eligible to apply.
