Around the world, the mission of international schools is changing.

Location
Where we're at!

In the heart of Tokyo, CHIST extends our classroom to our neighborhood as local attractions, parks, museums and concert halls are all within easy reach for our students to access learning opportunities within our wider community.
Education
Primary Years Programme (PYP)

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an inquiry-based, student-centered educational framework which focuses on the development of the whole child.

Middle School at CHIST

CHIST middle school students systematically broaden their knowledge base and critical thinking skills as they move towards higher levels of academic study.

Odyssey

A combined demonstration of prior learning and academic skills, the Individual Odyssey allows students to pursue a distinct personal passion.

The Individual Odyssey is the crowning capstone project for all upper middle school students at CHIST.

Students will select a demanding goal spanning a 4-6 month period, develop an action plan, and finally create a product or undertake an activity of their design.

After they complete their passionate journey, they will reflect on their growth and finally reveal the outcome of their odyssey in a closing exhibition.
