Empowering Future Leaders Through Global Education

At UIA, we cultivate a vibrant, multicultural community where students thrive academically and personally. Our commitment to excellence prepares them for a successful future in an interconnected world.

Kazumasa Sugita, CEO

At UIA International School of Tokyo, we provide a high level of education via the Cambridge curriculum ranging all the way from Early Years to Upper Secondary. At UIA we currently have students with backgrounds from over 25 countries all over the world.
We strongly believe that by living side to side with a diverse group of students from many different countries, that students will naturally develop an international outlook in life and become productive global citizens who play an active role in their communities at home in addition to serving the international community as a whole.
UIA International School of Tokyo invites students of all backgrounds aspiring to play an active role in an increasingly global society by helping make dreams and educational goals come true.

our history

Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence

In 2010, we began a journey, a journey which led us to become the establishment we are today.

We are an inclusive school, proud of what we have achieved and our offerings, such as the Cambridge Curriculum, state of the art facilities, highly skilled teachers and much more. Our school is committed to providing a learning environment where each student is empowered for his or her own social, academic, and physical well-being in order to become a contributing member of society.

We will grow as you grow, learn as you learn and succeed as you succeed. As our name indicates, together we will unite, inspire and achieve.
