Affiliated Preschool
For children aged 2 to 5

At Tokyo International School (TIS), we offer a complete educational journey for students from Kindergarten to High School (ages 5-18).

For our younger students, we have partnered with a dedicated affiliated preschool (ages 2-5). 

This program is rooted in inquiry-based education that nurtures each child’s individuality and lays the vital foundation for a lifelong love of learning.It is a preschool where every child discovers and blossoms into their own unique personality and abilities.

Children spend five hours a day immersed in an English-language environment, engaging in inquiry-based learning that nurtures curiosity and independence.

Above all, it’s a place filled with the joyful voices of children—“This is fun! I want to learn more!”
