UIA International School of Tokyo is a well-established Cambridge-certified international day school located in Koto City, near Kiba Park. Founded in 2010, the school offers a structured and traditional academic pathway from Early Years (K1, age 3) through Grade 12, culminating in Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications that are globally recognized for university entrance. Serving approximately 350–400 students from over 30 nationalities, UIA provides a culturally diverse and academically rigorous environment with English as the primary language of instruction, supported by Japanese, Hindi, and French language options. The school follows the full Cambridge Pathway (Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE, AS & A-Levels) and emphasizes STEM education, reflective learning practices, and strong academic foundations. With average class sizes of 15–20 students, certified international faculty, dedicated ESL support, science and ICT labs, music and art rooms, a library, indoor gym facilities, and a rooftop play area, UIA balances urban campus limitations by utilizing nearby parks and community athletic facilities. Accredited by Cambridge and WASC, and currently transitioning its academic calendar toward an August/September start, UIA is particularly suited for families seeking an affordable, globally recognized British-curriculum education within a structured and academically focused environment in Tokyo.
