About this school
Aoba-Japan International School (A-JIS) traces its origins to 18 May 1976, when Regina Doi founded a small bilingual preschool in Aobadai, Tokyo. With parent support it added elementary and junior high programmes as Japan International School near Daikanyama, took its present name in 1998, and in October 2012 moved its main campus to Hikarigaoka in Nerima. A Bunkyo campus for high school students opened later, and the school also runs an online IB Diploma course.
A-JIS is an IB continuum school offering the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes, and it is accredited by CIS and NEASC. The school aims to develop bilingual, internationally minded graduates and highlights entrepreneurship, innovation and social responsibility, with support from business and university partners.
The school reports about 790 students from 46 nationalities. The Hikarigaoka campus serves more than 570 students from a multi-age kindergarten (ages 3–5) to Grade 9, with open-plan classrooms, a sports pitch, a pool and a gymnasium, about 15 minutes' walk from Hikarigaoka Station. Services include early-years bus routes and an on-site halal-certified lunch programme.
