Description provided by the school:
Nishimachi International School, which offers an English-Japanese, multicultural education, was founded in 1949 by Tane Matsukata, a family member of one of Japan's first prime ministers and the sister-in-law to former US Ambassador Edwin Reischauer. The school is recognized by the government of Japan and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Council of International Schools. All students, many of whom are bilingual, are required to study Japanese language daily. The school offers its own international curriculum based on the best educational learning practices from Britain, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The faculty comprises of fully qualified, experienced professionals teachers from the aforementioned countries. The school exists for those students who can benefit from the English/Japanese language multicultural education that is offered and who are generally medium to long-term Tokyo residents. The following groups are fairly consistent in the school's student body: 30% Japanese; 25% American; 25% Japanese-American; 5% Japanese-other nationality; 15% other nationalities (predominantly European and Asian). Nishimachi offers a wide range of intercultural activities both during and after school. Students participate in English and Japanese drama productions, exchanges with Japanese schools, community home stay programs, traditional Japanese arts, publications and sports such as basketball and volleyball. Nishimachi maintains a school lodge, located outside of Tokyo in the mountains, for overnight science excursions and summer trips. In winter, students enjoy a week of ski-school in the Japanese Alps. The school year operates from August until June. The Japanese students take optional supplementary courses at the school for two weeks in summer. The campus comprises of six buildings in central Tokyo, including the Founder's former residence, a gym and a media centre. A committee screens applicants for admission. Acceptance is contingent upon student readiness, the availability of space, the individual child's language ability and general academic skills. |
