BYOD Program
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program
At Aoba-Japan International School, all of our learners from Grade 1 onwards are required to "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD). Our vision is to provide students with the experience and skills to thrive in an interconnected, collaborative, information-centric 21st Century world.
