Tokyo Metropolitan Kokusai High School

Kokusai High School was founded in 1989 as the first high school in Tokyo in which the whole curriculum is dedicated to international understanding. This year marks the 30th year of our endeavors.

The most attractive feature of Kokusai High School is its diversity. Our students come from or return from over 40 countries, and those students make up one-third of all the students of this school, which is one good example of our diversity. Under the educational policy to develop a well-balanced international mindset, maturity, and the ability to reason in its students so that they are respected and trusted in the world, our school offers foreign language subjects and a variety of specialized classes in international understanding as well as general subjects. At Kokusai High School, our students from various cultural backgrounds are striving to attain their own future goals through everyday campus life.

We were authorized as one of the International Baccalaureate (IB) world schools in May, 2015, and we have commenced the IB Diploma Program in April 2016. The first students in the IB course graduated in March 2018, and have had successful outcomes in acquiring the IB Diploma and have been admitted to some of the top universities in the world.

In this academic year, our school is achieving our missions as a Tokyo Global 10 school, a school promoting enrollment in higher-education and promoting active learning designated by Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education as well as an IB world school.

Many schools have been educating students for international understanding through various kinds of international events. The most prominent feature of our school is that we strategically organize a curriculum to develop students international understanding through necessary knowledge, and skills in our daily class activities.

Classes are well organized for each subject. Students are asked to write a report, or participate in practical exercises and study. We invite specialized researchers, business people and so forth to make the classes more interesting and attractive. Teachers and students work hard together in creating this special class style.

The curriculum is divided into three areas of cultural understanding, social understanding and environment & communication arts.

Sports Day is held every May after Golden Week at our school field. Students are divided into three teams of Red, White and Blue and compete against each other through the Endan (musical cheering dance performance) and other athletic competitions.

Our school festival is held over a weekend in mid-September every year. Each class and members of the school’s various extracurricular activity clubs, the school committee, and other volunteers plan a wide range of programs. Students start preparing for this festival from the middle of May and spend most of the summer making the festival a success. Please come and enjoy the biggest event of Kokusai High School!
