My son absolutely enjoys his school life in Aoba for the past 5 years. He is given challenges to learn international-mindedness through his friendship and relationship with a mixed cultural environment in school. I am happy to see him gaining his caring and kindness to the friends, families, communities, and world at large. And he is learning to take responsibility to act on the issues that he cares about. I am posting to tell you that the education in Aoba is to teach the students to become lifelong learners and global leaders with a kind heart. Some people are focused on micro issues which you'll find in any schools regardless of the reputation, and it is unfortunate that they can't see through beyond what is worth for the kids. The most I love about the school's philosophy is to educate children to become good person. What good is any of it if parents don't wish that for their children?

My son attends this school. He loves his teachers and classmates. It's a wonderful place for students to learn through exploring. The staff are great and communication is clear at all times. I love seeing him come home with a huge smile on his face after having a great day at school.

This is a decent school. Not as good as ASIJ or YIS or those oTher big schools but is decent if you cannot get into those schools. Cons There is no library they removed the door for corona reasons so it is hard to concentrate classes are usually repetitive especially in those classes that are taught by new teachers as they do not know what to teach and often repeat things already learnt Pros Teachers are usually nice The school campus has good equipment such as a gym, pool and basketball court.

The academics and student experience have been getting worse each year. It is owned by a for-profit business, unlike most international schools in Tokyo. That shows you what is most important to them: profit. Negatives: -the school claims to offer special learning needs support but the support instructors in many classrooms aren't even licensed teachers. The school charges extremely high fees for this service. In the past, the school offered extensive learning support services but this has been changed without removing the high fees -the majority of the students in each class have very low English levels and Japanese children speak to each other in Japanese, excluding all others -this year they removed the doors on all the classrooms so everything is extremely noisy and students can't focus on lessons or tests -there is no real library. Library books are in the LOBBY or in random classrooms so students have to go around to search for books there -there is a high fee to participate in any type of ASPs or sports; it's not included in the tuition. Respectable international schools like YIS and ASIJ do NOT charge extra outside of minimal fees to cover expenses such as league fees for sports -parents are required to buy iPads and MacBooks for students all the way from grade 1. The school does not provide anything, not even a computer lab -standardized test score results are very low -I have heard secondary students can't get into any good universities because their IB scores are so low and the Aoba diploma means nothing on its own Positives: -many of the teachers are kind people who are trying their best -there are a variety of bus routes available -the campus/field is quite large for a school in Tokyo Basically, unless you want to pay a lot for a very mediocre school, take your child elsewhere. Especially if they have special needs.

Aoba is a good school. Kids are happy in the school, and teachers are responsible. What happened between the school bus driver and the cyclist was a shame. It was obviously the driver’s fault. As I know the driver has been removed from his duty. I don’t think the school deserves such a bad review here.
