Clarence International School provides child-centered, purpose-built learning spaces with classrooms designed for young learners and resources chosen to support creativity, problem solving, collaboration and imagination. A cosy library and reading corners support reading for pleasure, with a system that lets children take a new book home each week. Outdoor learning is embedded through daily park visits and wider Tokyo explorations, including regular trips to Muddy Parks. The arts program includes weekly specialist music lessons and visual arts taught in disciplines such as sculpture, printmaking and ceramics. Term-time after-school clubs run from 15:15 to 16:15 and rotate each term, including collage, piano ensemble, gymnastics, photography and board games. From April 2026, the school will relocate to a larger campus in Nishi-Azabu, with the final day at the Omotesando site on March 20, 2026, and opening planned for April 8, 2026.
