Welcome to Oakwood
Oakwood Tokyo International School provides a welcoming, English-language learning environment for children from nursery through early elementary. Our diverse international community encourages children to explore, ask questions, and grow into confident, independent learners.
Guided by the principles of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), our inquiry-based approach emphasizes play, exploration, and meaningful learning experiences. Our teachers nurture each child’s curiosity, agency, and individual strengths in a safe and supportive environment.
