What are the schools in Tokyo like?
When we asked about the schools in Tokyo, they said...
"Visit first if possible, and any other school you may be interested in. I thought the previous reviewer was extremely unfair to the school and did not even care to get the facts straight, which is why I decided to write this review. Whether the school is right for an expat would depend on the expat. Obviously this one is not appropriate for someone wanting a monolingual education, but there were a number of sabbatical families at the school only for a year and they mostly found it a positive experience.. I visited several of the international schools in Tokyo myself and I thought this one was by far the most interesting and innovative. It depends on what one wants," said one parent with children at New International School of Japan in Tokyo.
"Tokyo schools offer a wide range of educational opportunities for students of all levels and backgrounds. Elementary, junior high and high schools follow the national curriculum, but there are also many private, international and alternative schools to choose from. Tokyo provides students with access to world-class education and cutting-edge technology through its schools, as well as unique academic resources like AI and robotics projects. School life in Tokyo is also enriched by extracurricular activities such as international exchange programs, sports and art clubs," commented one expat when asked about in Tokyo.
