Developing a Natural Joy for Learning and a Sense of Inquiry
At Tokyo West International School, there were so many opportunities to learn through hands-on experiences rather than just textbooks, which made the process of learning truly enjoyable. The ability to think for myself and ask my own questions continues to be a great asset in my university life today.
Exciting Daily Learning with Multicultural Friends
By studying alongside peers from more than 15 countries, I have not only improved my English but also developed a deep respect for diverse cultures and values. I now feel confident taking action in a global society.
Proactive Learning Nurtured in the Great Outdoors
Through the Garden Program and hands-on activities at Tokyo West International School, I was able to learn deeply beyond the walls of the classroom. The ability to think and act proactively developed naturally, and it has become a core strength in my professional life.
A Supportive Environment Where I Felt Safe to Take Challenges
Thanks to the small class sizes, I had many opportunities to talk with my teachers and always felt comfortable asking questions or seeking advice. I am truly grateful for the environment where teachers stood by me through every challenge and helped me bring out my best.
Inquiry-Based Learning: A Foundation for the Future
The IB-PYP and inquiry-based classes encouraged me to think deeply about the “why” behind everything, which naturally helped me develop logical thinking and self-expression. It gave me the confidence to approach complex problems with a positive mindset.
Confidence Built Through Every Day Spent with Friends
My experiences collaborating with everyone in club activities and school events helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and teamwork. Even after graduation, those days remain both a cherished memory and a source of confidence for me.
An Irreplaceable Time: The Foundation of My Growth
I spent my early elementary years at this school. Although I had to transfer before graduation, the experiences I had there were incredibly meaningful to me. I am still truly grateful for the time I spent learning in such a warm and nurturing environment.
Bringing the World Closer to Home
Spending my days with friends from diverse cultures and communicating in English truly made the “world” feel accessible and close to me. The broad perspective and the positive attitude toward learning that I gained at this school have become a solid foundation for who I am today.
