Student Life
Student life at TIF is intentionally designed to center on the learner, creating a youthful and engaging environment where students flourish both academically and personally. Our close-knit community, built on mutual support and respect, cultivates lasting relationships and a sense of belonging. On campus, students engage in a dynamic daily routine enriched by physical education, wellness activities, and dedicated time for creative projects. Beyond the classroom, student life extends to off-campus experiences, including interest-driven excursions, cross-school exchanges, and school trips. At TIF, student life is about exploration, personal growth, and building a supportive community that feels like home.
Our Campus
Opened in 2024, our purpose-built campus offers a modern and inviting space designed to place students at the heart of every activity. Co-located with our partner companies, the campus immerses students in a professional environment where they engage with industry professionals, gain valuable insights from guest speakers, and access regular mentorship opportunities. Designed with creativity and collaboration in mind, the campus features thoughtfully curated spaces that encourage interaction, introspection, and innovation.
Student-Led Excursions
Monthly excursions are tailored to align with students’ project goals, offering immersive, hands-on experiences for the entire student body. Organized by students in collaboration with faculty, these excursions help learners develop skills in event planning and facilitation. Previous excursions around Tokyo have explored themes such as sustainable architecture, traditional craftsmanship, contemporary art, and finance, offering students meaningful opportunities to apply classroom learning to the real world. These excursions foster curiosity, creativity, and deeper engagement with students’ individual projects.
Health, Well-Being and Safeguarding
Health and well-being are integral to student success and happiness at TIF. Weekly PE sessions feature group sports such as badminton, volleyball, or basketball, promoting teamwork and physical fitness. Located near Yoyogi Park, the school offers students abundant opportunities for outdoor exercise and recreation. Safeguarding is fundamental to our commitment to student care. Every child, regardless of age, has an unwavering right to safety and protection in all circumstances. TIF faculty uphold rigorous safeguarding policies and practices to maintain a secure, supportive environment, actively addressing any concerns impacting students’ physical or emotional well-being. To further support mental health, the school incorporates mindfulness practices and mental health education into the curriculum, ensuring students benefit from a holistic approach to learning.
School Trips and Cross-School Exchanges
School trips integrate outdoor education in Japan’s breathtaking natural landscapes with enriching opportunities for peer exchange. Planned in collaboration with peer institutions, these trips encourage students to collaborate, share project ideas, and experience diverse learning environments. In 2023, a trip to Hakuba, organized in partnership with Hakuba International School, provided students with fresh perspectives and unforgettable experiences while immersing them in life beyond Tokyo
