ICAN meaning in International ?

The International Christian Academy of Nagoya (ICAN); Japanese: 一般財団法人インターナショナル・クリスチャン・アカデミー名古屋) is an international school located on the outskirts of Nagoya, Japan in the city of Nagakute. It was founded in 1991 as the Christian Academy of Nagoya. ICAN has been managed by the Network of International Christian Schools (NICS) since 2001. ICAN welcomes students of any race, ethnic or religious background.

ICAN is an international school of approximately 80 students offering pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Class sizes are kept relatively small, despite combining grades and typically range from 5–15 students. ICAN uses North American curriculum and is accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

ICAN participates in a limited number of sports including basketball and volleyball at the Intermediate and Secondary levels.

ICAN is the 2012 National History Bee and Bowl champion in the Bowl Division as a team and its students won the top three spots in the 2012 Bee Division for the Japan Division.

God has blessed ICAN with over twenty years serving the international community in Nagoya. Unfortunately, this (2021) will be the last year of operation for the school. We are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to operate in Japan and serve the community in Nagoya.
