Elementary School

Grades 1 to 5

Suginami Campus

The elementary school of A-JIS is dedicated to providing a challenging and student – centered learning environment, which aims to develop the whole child. Our school is a center of inquiry, creativity and joyful learning, with students from more than 33 countries coming together to learn, to dream and to grow. It is within this environment that parents join with caring, experienced teachers in forming strong partnerships that make each student’s learning – academic and social – the focus of everything that we do.

Our program provides our students with the tools required to reach their academic potential and be happy, considerate and contributing members of our learning community. In accordance with our M.A.P. – Mission, Aims and Philosophy - the A-JIS family all share a common bond. We care deeply about the development and success of every student that we have the privilege of working with, and it is that bond that drives us to do everything that we can to ensure that each student obtains a life-long love of learning through which they can become worthwhile citizens of our global world.

We believe that life-long learning begins with a child`s innate curiosity, questioning and wonder about the world around them. We believe that authentic learning experiences allow children to construct their own learning while feeling secure to take chances and discover.  When children are challenged on a daily basis, they learn how to solve problems, communicate thoughts and feelings effectively, collaborate with others and develop as a whole child, who strives to always be the best they can be.

A-JIS`s Elementary School provides the challenging and nurturing environment in which children thrive and which sets a sound educational foundation on which their promising futures are built.

We welcome you to the A-JIS family.
