Welcome to The British School in Tokyo!
This page serves as a resource of general BST information leading up to the beginning of the school year. We are looking forward to welcoming you soon.
Devices in Secondary School
Beginning in September 2020, all Secondary students will need to bring their own device (a laptop/Chromebook) to school. We expect students to provide covers for their devices and have their own insurance for accidents. All students and parents will need to sign the E-safety agreement which is on pages 102-3 of the student planner, that they will receive on their first day of school.
We advise the following minimum and recommended specifications:
