Board of Directors Message

Welcome to Ikigai School, where each child’s unique path to learning and growth is celebrated and nurtured. As founders, we created Ikigai with a vision of providing more than just an academic education – we wanted to build a community where curiosity, passion, and personal purpose guide every child’s experience. Here, “ikigai,” a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being,” is at the heart of everything we do.

In partnership with SISU Schools, our curriculum draws inspiration from Finland’s world-renowned approach to education, known for cultivating independence, creativity, and lifelong learning skills. The Finnish model’s emphasis on personalized learning and well-being is perfectly aligned with our mission at Ikigai, where children grow in an environment that balances rigorous academics with the freedom to explore their interests, build resilience, and learn at their own pace.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We invite you to explore our programs and become part of the Ikigai family.

Warmly,
Gordana, Marua, Carla
