About this school
The American School in Japan (ASIJ) traces its roots to 1902, when the Tokyo School for Foreign Children began classes at the Kanda YMCA. After several moves around central Tokyo it took its current name in 1921, opened its first Chofu buildings in 1963 and celebrated its centennial in 2002. It is a Japanese school corporation (gakko hojin) governed by a board of directors and trustees.
ASIJ offers an American-style college-preparatory programme for international families, organised into four divisions:
- Early Learning Center in Roppongi, opened in 2004
- Elementary School, Middle School and High School on the Chofu campus
The Chofu campus has grown over the decades with a theatre and black box theatre, a Creative Arts Design Center with design technology and robotics labs, a Japan Center for Japanese culture, and athletics spaces including a fitness center, dance studio and tennis courts. The school also runs summer programmes and has a global alumni network of more than 7,500 graduates.
