"I think J's International School is one of the top international preschools in Minato Ward. My two sons have been attending since they were 1 year and 3 months old, and I felt at ease leaving them there in a homely environment that felt just like home. Above all, the teachers at J's treat the children with great love.”

“This school respects kid’s curiosity and right that treats children as little adults and let them explore the studies. Not only English they teach, but also the school grows kid’s generosity and kindness that every student has a beautiful mind that one can be happy for other as if it was her own happiness. Overall, I am very delighted that my daughter received so many opportunities that enriched her for life and found friends she really loves. Thank you so much!!”

“A little school with a big heart. All my kids are in this school and time is so fast that my elder son is going to graduate from this school this year! This is the perfect school for our family, not only the teachers, the students, how all families are involved, engaged with each other, and with kindness surrounded. Even on weekends, my kids want to go to school to play with their teachers and friends. It is really hard to find such a perfect school in Japan, here they teach my children how to learn with fun and curiosity. I can't imagine my life without this school!

My daughter thrived here, and now my son is enjoying his time as well. The teachers are warm, experienced, and truly invested in each child’s growth. The small class sizes ensure that every student gets personalized attention, and the curriculum balances academics with creativity and play. The school fosters a strong sense of community, making it a supportive environment for both kids and parents. If you’re looking for a nurturing international preschool in Tokyo, J’s is an excellent choice!”

From the moment we stepped onto J’s International School, we were welcomed into a world of warmth, welcoming staff, cozy interiors reminiscent of a home filled with love & light, most of all we were introduced to a women led school with a dedication to early childhood education that exceeded our expectations. The school's commitment to fostering a nurturing safe environment is evident in every corner – from the cheerful classrooms to the well-equipped play areas.”

“Isabel has thrived in J's academic environment. Her development in English, mathematics and Japanese has exceeded our expectations. She will be very well prepared for entering first grade. In addition, the bi-lingual environment and access to after-school intensive Japanese class has helped her develop fluency and comfort with Japanese language and culture. Overall J's has encouraged Isabel to develop self-confidence and self-reliance which has made her a much better communicator and a much more creative and enquiring student.”

We already decided to put Kento in an International school a few years ago and after visiting several preschools, we learned that J's international was the only preschool to know the process, prepare a road map and have a game plan for upper international schools. J’s understands the importance of the triangle of students, parents and teachers to lead children to the right direction for developing.

プリスクールは子供にとってまず第一に、感情をうまくコントロールできないときも含めて「あなたが大好き。あなたは本当に素晴らしい子よ」と抱きしめてくれる大人がいる、愛情に満ちた場所であること。そしてその次に、飽くなき子供の知識欲を満たし、これから一生つきあっていく「学ぶ」という行為にポジティヴな姿勢を身につけるというとても大切なスキルを習得させてくれる場所。というのが、私の求める条件でした。我が家にとって、J’sはこの二つを高いレベルで実現していました。子供たちをあるがままに受け入れ、同時にそれぞれの子にあったペースとカリキュラムで、ひとりひとりの学力を伸ばす、先生方の熱意と努力には、親として頭が下がります。そして、涙、涙の卒業式が象徴していたように、仕事だけではなく、子供たちを心から愛し、別れを惜しんで下さった先生方の愛情は、娘が大人の女性に成長して行く過程で、無意識であれ意識的であれ、彼女が健全な自我、自尊心を育む支えとなってくれることと思います。

“J’s International School is such a wonderful, nurturing environment with a strong academic foundation! What I loved most about J’s was its small, cozy and home-like atmosphere, where the teachers truly took care of the children like family. It was clear that each child was seen and supported individually.”
