International Secondary School
Japan
"Building World Citizens of Tomorrow"
“In 1999, I recognized the need to offer flexible learning options for students
with a variety of needs within the International Community of Tokyo. I realized
that the traditional structure of education was inappropriate for some young
learners and set about creating a small school that provides a quality,
personalized education in an inclusive learning environment. I am proud of our
achievements to date and believe that our Not-for-Profit status and our
committed and professional staff, will enable us to continue to provide the
highest possible education services to students who benefit from a more
individualized education program.”

ABOUT US
At International Secondary School, we believe that every student is a unique
individual. We strive to assist students in developing their learning strengths
and offer support to address their needs. We achieve this through a variety of
educational modalities and a high degree of personal attention
FAMILY
A small school environment ensures that students are well known to each other
and to the staff. Our teachers take a personal interest in their students, and
families are well connected to the school.
Typical descriptions of our school often include a sense of belonging and
connection.
Parents articulate how well they feel their children are being taken care of. We
are all part of the ISS Family.
PERSONALISED LEARNING
Our core classes are limited to a maximum of 8 students to give our students as
much attention and access to their teacher as possible. All teachers are
available 4 afternoons a week for Extended Instructional Time where students can
access their teachers for additional help.
All students have access to approved ISS accommodations. The specific test and
classroom accommodations will be determined in consultation with the student,
their parents, and members of our professional teaching staff.
In the review process accommodations can be added or dropped depending upon the
growth and development of the student.
STAFF
Our staff is reflective of the international composition of our school, with
teachers from Canada, the USA, the UK, Ireland and Japan. The entire ISS faculty
is accredited through their local professional organizations.
Teacher professional development is pursued in a variety of means so the staff
stays current in terms of educational philosophy and practice. Our staff are
engaged in continual course work through the National Association of Special
Education Teachers.
Our student body is comprised of boys and girls from grades 5 to grade 12 from
all over the globe. Our school of 40 students is represented by over 15
different nationalities. In a small school setting each student can make a
significant contribution to their school, and so each student is challenged to
share their gifts and talents to make ISS a wonderful place to go to school.
