The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) is working to create a world-class environment for both business and daily life — including multilingual administrative support — to attract highly skilled global talent and companies, and to enhance Tokyo’s position as a leading global financial city.
As part of this initiative, TMG is promoting the establishment and expansion of multilingual international schools serving foreign residents and their families. We provide comprehensive support for educational institutions and related businesses seeking to establish new schools or expand existing ones in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
We aim to provide support for schools and related organizations seeking to newly establish or expand their capacity in Tokyo.
If you are interested in this program, please feel free to contact us through the inquiry form on this page.
This project supports the expansion of multilingual international schools dedicated to serving foreign residents in Tokyo. Those institutions are not included in the term “school” as defined in Article 1 of the School Education Act. They must meet one of the following criteria or aim to establish schools to be eligible for this program.
- Accredited or plan to get accredited with programs (WASC, CIS, ACSI, NEASC, Cognia, COBIS) recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as university entrance qualifications
(For details, please refer to the MEXT website.) - Offering or to be offering internationally recognized curricula (IB, Cambridge International, AP)
Please note that the above criteria are applied solely to schools aiming to set up new schools or expand existing ones. We are actively seeking interested parties to undertake these initiatives, including domestic and international school operators and individuals/companies who are interested in this project.
