School Vision/Ethos: The school was established 15 years ago to provide a high quality education to expat families in Tokyo. The school quickly earned the reputation of providing "A first-class education" and now has grown to become one of the largest preschool/kindergarten/primary schools in Tokyo, with an enrolment of over 110 students from over 27 different countries and multiple national backgrounds. The school´s preschool/primary programs provide a secure and nurturing environment where children develop cognitive skills, motor development and social-emotional skills through hands-on learning activities that support academic success. The monthly thematic units of inquiry help children build their understanding and make sense of their world. Each classroom uses age-appropriate and stimulating materials that keep children inspired in learning. Their caring and compassionate teachers create a safe and positive environment where learning and play continue to progress.

The school is ideally located in front of Yoyogi Koen, Tokyo´s largest metropolitan park. Classrooms overlook the park and are bright and spacious. School facilities include a library housing more than 1500 books, computer terminals, an outdoor playground and a gym with basketball hoops, balancing beams and various other Physical Education equipment.
