What is "International Education Fair 2026"? The "International Education Fair" is an international education event aimed at providing opportunities for people living anywhere in Japan to access the latest information on global and bilingual education. Under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ward of Minato Education Committee, and the Malaysian Embassy, over 150 schools and educational services from Japan and abroad exhibit, and it is widely known as a venue where parents and students can directly compare and consult about their future education and career choices. It is held internationally in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok, and other locations, offering a variety of programs including talk events, booth exhibitions, school information sessions, and workshops.

Background of Exhibition As of December 2025, the number of IB authorized and candidate schools in Japan has reached 260 (according to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's IB Education Promotion Consortium), and interest in IB education is growing year by year. On the other hand, information about specialized tutors who can support IB's advanced curriculum remains difficult for parents to access. By exhibiting for the first time at one of Japan's largest international education events, IB Academy sees this as an opportunity to directly guide parents and students considering IB progression, and to gain widespread recognition as one of the options for learning support for IB students.
