Curriculum

An international preschool from age 1 in Nakamachi, Setagaya City. Early Years for ages 1–3 (ages 1–4 in the title of the English page) supports development in three areas: emotions and relationships, thinking skills, and the body. Ages 3–6 follow the approach of the IB (International Baccalaureate) PYP (Primary Years Programme), with inquiry-based learning through play. The IB page contains both a sentence saying it "was officially recognized as an IB World School in June" and a sentence saying it "is a PYP candidate school aiming for IB World School authorization"; the Japanese IB page says it is a candidate school. There is also a primary school (Keiki Primary School). There are 3 terms (for 2025–2026: August 29–December 12, January 7–March 13, March 25–June 12), plus winter, spring and summer schools. Children can join mid-year if there are openings. Class hours are 9:00–14:20 in the English admissions guide and 8:55–14:20 in the Japanese admissions guide. Early care is from 8:30 (from 8:00 by arrangement), and extended care is until 19:00.
