Serving students from over 47 countries, The American School in Japan has offered a coeducational, college preparatory program since 1902. Operating on two campuses, ASIJ is an independent international day school that enrolls students from three years of age through high school. The school's curriculum is modeled on the American system of education with a mission of “fostering a community of inquisitive learners and independent thinkers, inspired to be their best selves, empowered to make a difference.”
With diverse curricular and co-curricular programs, a highly qualified faculty of over 150, and over 1,650 students, ASIJ is one of the oldest and most respected international institutions in Japan. Now in our second century of education, ASIJ is privileged in continuing a tradition of academic excellence and personal growth with a global perspective that we hope will nurture in today's youth a bright and well-founded vision of tomorrow's possibilities.
Students at ASIJ become adept at identifying problems and using innovation and collaboration to design and evaluate solutions. They take risks, explore passions, develop their strengths and pursue their personal paths with resilience. Students also develop the capacity to understand diverse perspectives.
Founded in 1902, ASIJ was started by a dynamic group of women who recognized the need for a school among the growing foreign community. Beginning life in rented rooms in the Kanda YMCA, the Tokyo School for Foreign Children, as it was then known, quickly attracted a growing numbers of students from around the world and soon needed to move to a more permanent home in Tsukiji. The school survived the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and continued to expand and outgrew the Foreign Settlement moving to Meguro. After closing during the war years, the school reopened in 1946 to support the military and civilian families present in post-war Tokyo.
