About this school
Canadian International School Tokyo (CIS) was founded in 1999 by two of its current directors, who arranged with the Department of Education of Prince Edward Island to adopt that Canadian province's curriculum. CIS is a PEI affiliated school and is inspected on site every year by provincial officials. It received IB Primary Years Programme authorisation in 2009 and follows WASC standards.
CIS runs from pre-kindergarten to Grade 12, combining the Canadian curriculum, including English language education at Canadian standards, with international enrichment and advanced study. It offers an English Language Support Program, counselling and student support, an advanced programme and a summer school. Japan's education ministry recognises the school, so CIS high school graduates can apply to Japanese universities. CIS belongs to JCIS, EARCOS and the Tokyo Association of International Preschools.
The school operates three sites: the main office and kindergarten and a separate high school campus, both in Kitashinagawa near Osaki, and an elementary campus in Nakameguro. Its stated aim is to develop confident, independent learners and principled global citizens.
