Toyko As Our Classroom

At TIS, we believe the best classroom is the world around us. Tokyo, with its bustling energy and rich history, provides an unparalleled living laboratory for our students. By venturing beyond our campus, we turn a dynamic metropolis into a place of discovery, where every street, garden, and museum is an opportunity for hands-on learning.

We don’t just teach about the world; we experience it.

Our “Tokyo as Our Classroom” program connects students directly with the city’s rich environment, making concepts more meaningful and memorable.

Experiential Education

At Tokyo International School (TIS), we believe that the most profound learning happens when students step beyond the familiar.

We seamlessly blend the highest academic standards with real-world adventures that foster independence, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the world around us.

It helps me feel more accepting and understand different cultures, different religions and different ideas of how people see things.

And what I like about TIS is all my friends are very kind to me and there's no bullying.

One of the things which surprised us was the degree of human warmth that we found in the school. The teachers actually take the time, to learn about each individual student and target the education process towards that profile.
Alejandro Barbajosa - Mexico
Having had two of the kids at TIS was definitely one of our highlights during our four years in Tokyo. A lot of fond memories and lasting connections have been made for the kids and parents alike. The transition to another IB school went smoothly. Thank you all at TIS for such a special time!

The first day when my daughter came back home, she said, “I already have two new friends.” We were nervous but I remember the sense of relief when I walked back home and thought… OK, that's going to be a good place to be.
Andrea Gerali - Italy
People are happy; happy to be here, happy to go about their work and what they do each day. It really is something that you can palpably feel.
Kenny McFadden (Grade 5 Homeroom Teacher) - Australia
Fun! Totally, that would be the first word that comes to mind. That's not just the staff, it's the students as well.

Teaching (students) how to learn by themselves and that's absolutely fantastic. I have so many instances so many examples when they are just so inquisitive.
