École Internationale Franco-Japonaise (EIFJ) Tokyo is a modern, multilingual international day school located in Kita-ku, North Tokyo, offering education from Nursery (age 1) through High School. Founded in 2019, EIFJ stands out for its distinctive “triple language” model, integrating French, English, and Japanese into daily learning and school life. The school provides flexible academic pathways, allowing students to follow the French National Curriculum, an international track aligned with IB philosophy, or a blended bilingual approach. Accredited by the French Ministry of Education (AEFE partner) and an IB Diploma candidate school, EIFJ serves as a bridge between traditional French academic excellence and inquiry-based international education. With small class sizes (typically 12–15 students), diverse international faculty, and a community representing over 25 nationalities, the school emphasizes close teacher-student interaction, intercultural understanding, and strong language development. The campus features modern learning spaces, multilingual library resources, arts and performance areas, indoor sports facilities, rooftop play zones, after-school programs such as robotics, judo, ballet, chess, music, and visual arts, as well as school bus services across central and northern Tokyo. EIFJ is particularly well suited for families seeking deep multilingual immersion and a pathway to the French Baccalauréat and/or IB Diploma, while benefiting from a supportive, boutique-style international school environment.
