About Musashi International School Tokyo (MIST)
Musashi International School Tokyo (MIST) is a Cambridge International registered K-12 integrated school from 2 year-old kindergarten to high school founded in 2002. While emphasising on bilingual +α education (including Japanese language classes using textbooks used at local schools), STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), and critical thinking skills, we nurture global-minded persons who are able to take an active part in this 21st century.
In general, international schools have rather high tuition fees which limit the number of families who can afford to join. On the other hand, MIST was established with the desire to provide high quality international education at a more affordable tuition fee level. By reducing the facilities expenses, we have successfully been able to reduce the tuition fees to about 60% compared to that of other international schools.

How would you rate Musashi International School Tokyo (MIST)?
There were some kids who speak 0 English at enrolment, so it's ended up with being rather a language school for Japanese kids than International School. The school coordinator even 'proudly' admit that, too. Low rate of foreign passport holders or native kids - for example in a class our kid belonged to, classmates were all Japanese including only a mix kid (still Japanese). So overall, I will say it's a Japanese school.
While the school building is small, the teachers and curriculum are as good as the bigger schools. The small class sizes provide students with a lot of teacher attention. Being near Mitaka and Kichijoji stations is also convenient.
My child went to school there for one year and we pulled her out. The teachers are hit or miss. Some are very good, and some have no training at all. Administration at the upper levels seems very disorganized and lower level admin seem to be always scurrying because higher admin are changing policy, or have none. The school would greatly benefit from a stable principal or headmaster who can stand up to board members making off-the-cuff decisions that upend the lives of their enrolled students' families. For example, the kindergarten was moved suddenly to a new location, and the curriculum was reverted back to Japanese as the medium of instruction.

Children are having fun. The number of people is small now, but it seems that the number will increase little by little in the future? I hope that the goodness of a small number of people and the liveliness will be balanced.
