02Admissions
| Cycle | 未確認 not publicly confirmed |
University Entrance Eligibility in Japan
| School-accreditation route | Yes (estimated) |
| Student-qualification route (IB, etc.) | Yes |
Which route applies at graduation depends on whether a student chose the IB course or the TI course at Grade 10. A TI-course student would not have the IB-Diploma-based individual-credential route available. The school's own registration and accreditation status weren't confirmed in currently available public information.
What Japanese Families Should Know
Questions to Ask the School
1.What are the university outcomes for graduates of each track, IB and TI?
Why this matters: Public information does not establish this clearly; confirm it directly with the school.
2.What determines which track a student is placed on at Grade 10?
Why this matters: Public information does not establish this clearly; confirm it directly with the school.
03Curriculum
IB or TI — the Choice Splits at Grade 10
Linden Hall was formally recognised as an IB School in 2013, but not every student earns the IB Diploma. At Grade 10, students choose between the IB course and TI (Total Immersion, the school's own English-immersion track). A student on the TI course does not earn the IB Diploma.
Key Point
This mirrors the same structure found at Okinawa International School (IBDP vs. ILA). A school's overall "IB-recognised" status and what any individual student actually earns are separate questions. A family planning around the IB-Diploma individual-credential route needs to understand that the Grade 10 track choice directly determines whether that route is even available.
