Welcome to Oakwood

Oakwood is a rising star in international early-childhood education in Tokyo. We provide a stimulating nursery and kindergarten program that is taught completely in English. Our methods align with internationally recognized curriculums, including Montessori and STEM. We also stand unique in being a fully recognized ninkagai preschool eligible for local subsidies to help cover costs for families while maintaining a nearly entirely foreign staff from admin to bus drivers, teachers to cleaners. Book a tour to meet our unique family of educators and find out why our school has been growing so quickly over the last 5 years.

"Play is the highest form of research." – Albert Einstein

At Oakwood Tokyo International School, our preschool curriculum harmoniously blends the Montessori philosophy with the rigor of the USA Common Core, creating a dynamic and nurturing environment where young minds can thrive as they play. We employ a scaffolding approach to English language development inspired by the WIDA model, ensuring each child is gradually prepared to excel in Grade 1 at any international elementary school. As proud members of the Tokyo Association of International Preschools (TAIP), we stand at the forefront of early childhood education in Japan, offering a curriculum that inspires curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
