The Hinoki Academy, founded in 2023 in Oita, Japan, began with just 3 students and 3 teachers. Today it serves 15 students from over 10 families with 5 dedicated teachers—and the community continues to grow rapidly.
The school has outgrown its rented space and has been miraculously offered a local school building with farmland that meets every need: space, location, transportation access, and a natural environment. To purchase and remodel the property will cost $227,900.

Hinoki Academy provides an affordable Christian education for students who don’t thrive in Japan’s public schools. Partnering with the local board of education, the school offers a caring, bilingual, nature-based, and biblically integrated model:
Bilingual: Japanese and English days, with local and international teachers.
Christian: ACSI-based curriculum with Bible class and chapel; values of love, compassion, forgiveness, and grace.
Eco-School: A farm-based campus that supports hands-on learning, exploration, and creation care.

World Family Missions is committed to helping Hinoki Academy secure a permanent home and continue providing:
A lasting legacy of Christ-centered education in Oita.
A bilingual, nature-rich environment that nurtures leaders for Japan and beyond.
Your partnership in the Hinoki Academy School and Farm Project will bring hope to children and families as they grow in identity, purpose, and faith.
