Nishimachi International School, international School in Tokyo, Japan
Nishimachi International School is an international school in Minato ward that welcomes students from many countries. The campus is surrounded by greenery and trees, offering classes taught in English and Japanese along with science, mathematics, history, art, and music.
The school was founded in 1949 to serve children of expatriates in Tokyo and provide international education. Over more than seven decades, it has grown to become an established institution welcoming families from around the world.
The school teaches both English and Japanese daily, with students learning about local traditions and customs as part of everyday life. This balance helps children maintain connections to their home cultures while becoming part of the broader community.
The school is located in a quiet residential area that is easy to reach on foot or by bicycle. The neighborhood is safe and friendly, with nearby parks and points of interest that make it convenient for school trips and exploration.
The school has never had an official mission statement, instead being guided by core philosophical values that have shaped its development from the start. Despite its over 70-year history, the institution remains adaptable and is planning to expand with a high school to offer continuous education pathways.
