Primary School
A very warm welcome to the British School in Tokyo Primary School.
Browsing through this website one cannot fail to appreciate that BST is a busy, vibrant school. A friendly small school atmosphere has been created on both sites, a wide and varied range of opportunities are available to the children and the calibre and talents of the staff is enriched by our central location in the city.
BST Primary School aims to give your child the very best academic and social education, preparing them for their future life in their next school and beyond, wherever that might be in the world.
Our vision has always been to realise and nurture the talents and abilities of each individual, as well as stressing social values and the importance of responsibility and self-discipline. We encourage excellence and reward and celebrate achievement.
We understand that children learn by example and respond positively to encouragement and praise. As staff, we share traditional expectations by exemplifying kindness, care and good manners and see this reflected in the children. Children at BST are thoughtful and considerate, distinctly aware of and sensitive to the needs of others.
BST provides a safe and caring environment in which children can ‘have a go’ and endeavour to do their best. We insist on participation in all aspects of school life, enhanced by a healthy level of competition. Staff make sure that children feel happy and secure about taking part in new and exciting challenges; that they appreciate their own strengths and abilities and the genuine value of these characteristics in our community here at school and beyond – a real preparation for life.
BST is a family, a school where your child will find their place and be cherished and encouraged. Please come and visit whilst in Tokyo; I very much look forward to meeting you and showing you round.
