About this school
Tokyo Chinese School was founded in 1929 in Koishikawa as the Tokyo Overseas Chinese School with around 20 pupils. Closed during the war and later reopened in 1946, it moved in 1948 to its present site in Goban-cho, Chiyoda-ku. It has historic ties to the Republic of China (Taiwan) and today is run by a Tokyo-approved school corporation established in 2008.
The school provides a continuous 12-year education across an elementary section and a combined junior and senior high section. Its teaching is grounded in Chinese culture and values such as respect for parents and teachers, and it runs a trilingual programme in Chinese, Japanese and English, supported by ICT-based learning and university guidance for study in Taiwan and Japan.
The Goban-cho campus was rebuilt in 1984 and includes a gymnasium, a rooftop pool, a library and a health room. Annual events such as sports days, school performances and ceremonies form an important part of school life.
