Ginkgo International School provides an English-based educational environment for children in their formative years, covering preschool through elementary levels. The school adopts an inquiry-based curriculum that draws inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach and Montessori principles, encouraging children to explore their interests through hands-on projects and collaborative play.
The school aims to develop 'global citizens' by fostering curiosity, independence, and empathy. The multicultural staff ensures that students are exposed to various perspectives from a young age. Ginkgo is particularly popular for its warm, nurturing environment and its commitment to small class sizes, which allows for differentiated instruction tailored to each child's developmental pace.
Located in the Sawara-ku residential district, Ginkgo offers a safe and accessible campus for young learners. While it does not offer a full high school program, its elementary graduates are well-prepared for transition into larger international middle schools like FIS or for reintegration into international systems abroad. The school also offers various after-school programs including coding, art, and music.
