A Rapidly Expanding International School Landscape in Japan

In recent years, Japan has seen a surge in new international school openings. Prestigious British institutions such as Malvern College Tokyo and Rugby School Japan have entered the market, signaling a significant transformation in Japan’s educational environment.

This growth is partly driven by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s goal of attracting 50,000 highly skilled international professionals by 2030 — nearly double the 2024 figure. As Japan becomes increasingly global, educational options are expanding at an unprecedented pace (※1) .

With so many choices available, selecting a school based solely on brand recognition or reputation can lead to future regret. Careful, informed decision-making is essential.

There are many considerations. It’s important to make decisions based on a solid brand or image, and avoid regrets later.

Are You Facing These Concerns?

Which school is right for my child?

With so many curricula, teaching philosophies, and school missions, making objective comparisons can feel overwhelming.

The application process seems too complex…

Preparing English application forms, essays, and recommendation letters takes time and precision. Many families feel unsure about wording and positioning.

How should we prepare for interviews and assessments?

Parent-child interviews and academic assessments in English can be difficult to prepare for alone.
