One of the reasons why people send their children to International Preschools in Tokyo, is to learn English. Our language of instruction is English even though our school population includes German, French, Tagalog, Russian, Hebrew, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Swedish, Spanish, Ukranian, and Japanese.
Our International Preschool actively supports non-English speaking preschoolers through an immersive, play-based environment where English is naturally integrated into daily routines, songs, and social interactions. We employ a team-based teaching approach with bilingual and multilingual educators who provide gentle, contextual support in a child’s home language during transitions or moments of frustration, ensuring emotional security while building English comprehension.
Actions for instructions and guidelines, visual schedules, labeled classrooms, and consistent routines create a predictable structure that helps children understand expectations without relying solely on verbal instructions.
We also foster a welcoming community by celebrating all cultures represented in our school, helping every child feel valued and confident as they acquire new language skills at their own pace.
