Today, we held our final closing ceremony at our beloved Minami Azabu campus. Since 2013, this campus has been the heart of our community, a place filled with unforgettable memories, incredible learning journeys, and lifelong friendships.
Whilst it is a sad farewell to a place we have called home for over a decade, we are also filled with immense excitement for the future.
This August, a brand new chapter begins as we open our doors at our newTAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY Campus. We cannot wait to welcome you all to our new home and embark on this next great adventure together!
Thank you, Minami Azabu, for the memories. Takanawa Gateway, here we come!

Spotlight on our Lower School Stars!
Last Friday's Lower School Assembly was extra special as we celebrated our incredibly talented students in the Lower School Talent Show!
We were blown away by the amazing variety of skills on display. From gymnastics and high energy dancing to beautiful singing, mini-sports showcases, and impressive skipping routines, our students truly brought their A-game!
It takes a lot of courage to step up on stage, and we could not be prouder of everyone who shared their passions with us.
Check out a few highlights from the performances below!

A Historic First: TOK Begins at Our School!
Today marked a monumental milestone for our community: the very first Theory of Knowledge (TOK) session in our school's history for our Grade 11 students as we started our IB DP this year!

What is TOK?
Theory of Knowledge is the true heart of the IB, challenging students to step back from what they are learning and reflect on how they know what they claim to know. It encourages them to question the world around them, analyse assumptions, and understand the different perspectives that shape our global society.

Proud of Our Thinkers
We are immensely proud of our students' presentations! They stepped up to the plate and brilliantly explained how complex knowledge concepts apply to real-world situations, showing off their impressive analytical and communication skills.

History is officially in the making at our school, and we can’t wait to see how these young minds continue to grow, question, and lead as they journey into Grade 12 next year!

We have some absolutely incredible news to share!

Our Board Chair, Ikuko Tsuboya Newell (Bea), has been honored with a prestigious Minister’s Commendation by Matsumoto, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. During the ceremony, Minister Matsumoto expressed his gratitude for Bea's longstanding dedication to increasing the number of International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools, including her cooperation in the development and implementation of a Diploma Program that can be taken in Japanese.

Serving as Japan's IB Ambassador and an education advisor to the government, her commitment continues to enrich educational opportunities both within our school and across the nation. We are profoundly grateful for her visionary leadership and remain deeply inspired by her ongoing guidance as we work together to support our students' growth. Please join us in offering our warmest and most respectful congratulations to Bea on this well-deserved recognition.

A huge THANK YOU to our fantastic parent community for hosting another incredible Staff Appreciation Lunch today!

Talk about a theatrical transformation! This year, they turned our drama room into a beautiful, cosy restaurant, and we are still in awe of the ambience and the delicious food.

We are so incredibly lucky to have such a great parent community here at TIS. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for spoiling us, making us feel so appreciated, and bringing a little extra warmth to our day!

Last Friday, 20 of our upper school students and three teachers traded the classroom for the fresh mountain air of the Tanzawa Mountains for an unforgettable overnight cabin adventure. Focused on practical outdoor education, the group spent Friday and Saturday fully immersing themselves in the scenic beauty of the Kanto region. They tackled everything from a thrilling water hike to a challenging two hour trek right up to the mountain ridge, showing incredible stamina and appreciation for the great outdoors.

While we have to admit the local fish completely outsmarted our young anglers, the students quickly proved just how resourceful they can be. They pivoted like true camp chefs, whipping up a delicious and crowd pleasing ""one pot pasta"" over the camp stoves. Throughout the trip, they also practiced building campfires, headed out for some exciting wildlife spotlighting, and embraced every bit of hands-on learning before wrapping up their journey on Saturday.

We are so incredibly proud of the teamwork, resilience, and maturity our students demonstrated. Parents, we hope you’ve enjoyed hearing all about their adventures since they returned last Saturday

Lower School Parent Teacher Conferences

There is a special energy in the school today! Our Parent Teacher Conferences highlight the power of partnership as our Lower School teachers and parents come together to celebrate our students' growth.

These conversations go so much deeper than just a progress update; they are a chance to look at the ""how"" of learning, discussing the goals our students are reaching for, the unique strengths they bring to the classroom, and the confidence they are building every single day.

We truly value the time spent aligning our efforts to support every child’s journey. A huge thank you to our wonderful parent community for your engagement, your insights, and your shared commitment to making this a year of discovery and joy for our learners!
