About this school
India International School in Japan (IISJ) describes itself as the first and oldest school serving the Indian community in Japan. It was founded in 2004 by Nirmal Jain with 27 students in a small office building, as growing numbers of Indian IT professionals settled in Tokyo. In 2007, with enrolment approaching 1,000, it moved to its present building in Koto-ku, and it later opened a second campus in Yokohama.
IISJ follows the national curriculum of India's Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), with CBSE accreditation since 2010. It became a gakko hojin (educational corporation) in 2016 and a MEXT-designated international school in 2019. Kindergarten uses the Montessori method, followed by elementary, middle, secondary and senior secondary sections, and computer science is taught from Grade 1. IB classes are offered in Grades 11 and 12.
The school calls itself the largest Indian school in Japan. Its campus has science labs, libraries, a gymnasium and playgrounds, and it runs school bus routes and after-school clubs. Graduates continue to universities in many countries.
