Welcome to TIS
Welcome to Tokyo International School, one of the most exciting schools in Japan!
TIS, a fully authorized IB World School, is a truly international school made up of children and staff from over 45 nations around the world. In partnership with parents, we successfully live our mission every day….to nurture confident open minded independently thinking well balanced inquirers for global responsibility.
The school’s mission is completely compatible with the goals of the two IB programs we offer, and this makes our daily work with students totally authentic and purposeful. What I believe stands us apart from other schools is that we successfully combine contemporary yet rigorous teaching, learning and assessment practices Pre K – 8, with the important family-like relationships which exist between teachers, students and parents
This powerful combination creates a very special school climate where learning is focused, engaging and challenging and at the same time collaborative encouraging and supportive.
I invite you to join us on our journey into the 21st century!
Des Hurst
Head of School
