About this school
Tokyo West International School (TWIS) opened in April 2010 as an elementary school in Tachikawa and moved in 2015 to a purpose-built campus in Umetsubo, Hachioji, when it also opened a middle school. A high school department followed in 2024. The school was founded by Yoshinori Kato, who chairs its board.
TWIS offers continuous education from PreK and kindergarten through grade school and secondary school, with a focus on high-level English and bilingual education for returnee, Japanese and overseas families. It became an authorised IB Primary Years Programme school in 2022 and also runs bilingual, Singapore Math, travel-and-learn and organic garden programmes. It is accredited by Cognia and is a member of EARCOS and the Council of International Schools.
The Hachioji campus has ICT-equipped classrooms, a gymnasium, science labs, music and art rooms, a library, a 25-metre outdoor pool, a rooftop area and a school garden, with lunches cooked on site and school buses serving the Tama area. Teachers come from around 15 countries.
