Giving to BST

The British School in Tokyo is an inclusive school with high academic standards and a diverse student body of more than 65 nationalities. The curriculum is broad and provides all students with the support and experiences to maximise their potential. Maintaining and developing our outstanding reputation involves drawing on the support of our community in the form of financial contributions as well as volunteer time.
 
BST is a non-profit institution and, as with many independent international schools, tuition fees alone do not cover the cost of educating each student to the standards of excellence that our community expects. Individual and corporate philanthropy assists in fulfilling our mission and vision for the future. BST needs the continued support exemplified by the contributions from companies and individuals at the time of the School’s opening in 1989 and from those who have continued to give to the school in the years since.
Gifts to BST allow us to continue offering the many academic, sports and cultural programs that have contributed to our “Excellent” grading by the independent Schools Inspectorate. In recent years corporate and individual contributions have helped us to expand, refurbish and upgrade facilities at both campuses and, notably, introduce bursaries for eligible families who, through individual circumstances become unable to afford the full tuition fees. Dedicated sports facilities have been acquired and equipped, and our students take part and compete in international events of many types.

 

In order to continue expanding these programmes, and guarantee our continued success, we depend on the philanthropic support of our entire school community. There are different ways to support BST. Matching your financial means, as well as your interests, is not difficult. Every gift of any size makes a difference.

Ways to Give

Making your donation to the British School in Tokyo is easy and can be done by bank transfer or by credit card. If neither method matches your needs, or if you have some additional questions, please contact the Development Office for assistance and more information. <devt-office@bst.ac.jp>
