Ages

The preschool (Roppongi, Toranomon) is for 15 months to 6 years; the elementary school (Roppongi) is recruiting Grades 1–3 for the 2026–2027 school year (planned to expand to Grade 4 in 2027–2028 and Grade 5 in 2028–2029). Grade is determined by age as of August 31.

Curriculum

The elementary school uses concept-based, inquiry-based lessons organized into cross-subject inquiry units (based on EtonHouse's Scope and Sequence). Students learn English, math, science, social studies, arts, PE and more; sports, music, and Japanese language and culture are taught by specialist teachers. The preschool uses EtonHouse's "Inquire.Think.Learn" curriculum, inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, centered on play and inquiry. The Roppongi preschool is bilingual in English and Chinese (Mandarin), with one English teacher and one Chinese teacher in each class. The Toranomon preschool teaches in English. There are also nature activities at the school's Karuizawa facility.
