Saint Maur International School

Established in 1872 by the Sisters of the Infant Jesus, Saint Maur International School is the oldest international school in Asia. Located in the historic Yamate district of Yokohama, the school provides a multi-cultural environment where students from diverse backgrounds thrive. The school's mission is to provide a quality education within a caring family environment, emphasizing moral values and mutual respect.

Saint Maur offers a unique blend of curricula tailored to different age groups. It features a dedicated Montessori preschool for ages 2.5 to 5, followed by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). In the secondary years, students follow the IGCSE program and eventually the IB Diploma Programme or Advanced Placement (AP) courses. This flexibility allows students to tailor their academic path toward their future university goals.

The school is particularly noted for its Fine Arts Center and the 'Ecole Française de Saint Maur' section, which caters to French-speaking students. Its compact but highly efficient campus includes specialized science labs, a modern cafeteria, and the Saint Maur Drama Studio, making it a hub for artistic and academic development in Yokohama.
