Tokyo's premiere international high school offering personalized learning for life success
Welcome to The Innovation Fellowship
The Innovation Fellowship (TIF) is an independent international high school in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo. TIF engages students with individualized learning opportunities designed to maximize their life success, ignite their passions in collaboration with peers, and enable them to utilize their inner excellence to create value in society through their education. The school offers a dynamic and rigorous curriculum that exceeds Common Core standards and culminates in an American high school diploma.

What Makes Us Different?
The Innovation Fellowship is a modern-day prep school for ambitious students who want to pursue a career that is meaningful to them and go to college with purpose.​ At TIF, we recognize that traditional education often emphasizes standardized test performance and college acceptance, yet many students graduate without clarity about their passions or career goals.
Our innovative curriculum reimagines preparation for both college and careers, focusing on aligning students’ talents, skills, and values with their future paths. Through individualized learning and project-based experiences, students gain the self-awareness and direction needed to pursue work that is both meaningful and fulfilling. By fostering curiosity, purpose, and confidence, we prepare students to not only excel academically but also to embark on a journey that reflects their true potential and aspirations.
Mission-Driven
Project Work
Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional schools, TIF offers a hyper-personalized curriculum tailored to each student’s unique interests and goals. Following our "Innovator’s Framework" PBL method, students learn to validate their interests through taking action and reflecting on their outcomes.
Experienced Coaches and Industry Mentors
Students at TIF receive holistic guidance from our faculty members during every step of their education. As students advance beyond the foundational stage of their project-based learning journey, students gain access to mentors with industry expertise and internship opportunities at leading organizations.
Interdisciplinary Curriculum
Anchored in three foundational pillars, our interdisciplinary curriculum covers essential disciplines such as Math, Science, English, and Social Studies, cultivates competencies that surpass US Common Core standards, and equips students for the rigor of college-level academics and writing.
Four-Year College Advisory
TIF prioritizes helping students gain admission to their best-fit universities through a comprehensive, four-year advisory program. Guided by our college advisory experts, students learn to identify their strengths, craft balanced college lists, and build portfolios that highlight their unique achievements and character.
