In September of 2025, we successfully opened Oakwood Elementary School with our first grade 1 class. Our school is an IB-PYP candidate school with a certified staff that is able to provide close to one-on-one tutoring and training thanks to our small class sizes. We are the only international elementary school in our area that also offers a full-day child care program (Working Parents Support) for busy families. Our 1st and 2nd grade combined classroom is staffed by fully certified elementary school teachers and offers families who may be waiting to enter the international school of their choice a place to prepare their children while they wait.
Our Elementary Staff consists of Fully-certified Elementary School Teachers with certificates from the US, the Philippines, and Japan
Oakwood Tokyo International School is a compassionate, globally-minded international elementary school located in the heart of Setagaya. We are an IB-PYP Candidate School.
Our greatest strengths are our highly-trained teachers and intentionally small class sizes - with a maximum of 8 students per class, we ensure that each child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
