Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Global Wisdom International School (GWIS) operates in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward with two campuses: Funabori (Kindergarten) and Kasai (Kindergarten and Primary). The Funabori campus runs a Montessori‑inspired early‑years program, while the Kasai campus offers Cambridge Primary for Grades 1–5 and plans to extend to Grade 8 by 2027. The Nishikasai branch relocated to a larger Kasai Campus in April 2025 to widen Cambridge Primary and kindergarten offerings and to accommodate growth for the 2025‑26 academic year. The school is led by Ms. Deepika Sahni, who serves as Director and School Principal for both campuses, bringing over 23 years of teaching experience in Cambridge Primary, CBSE, and kindergarten education in India and Japan. GWIS has a documented history of events and activities, with a Gallery documenting events from 2020 onward that illustrate the school's community life.
GWIS describes its community as international and diverse, with more than 75 students from 10 nationalities. Community life centers on events and student activities; the Gallery shows Annual Day 2025, Winter Concert 2024, Halloween 2024, Grade 1 Sports Day 2024, Science Fair 2024, and field trips. GWIS operates two Tokyo campuses in Edogawa Ward: Funabori for Kindergarten and Kasai for Kindergarten and Primary. Campus locations are Edogawa Ward, with Kasai Campus at Kasai 3‑33‑16 and Funabori Campus at Funabori 3‑1‑4, Edogawa‑ku, Tokyo. GWIS is part of TAIP (Tokyo Association of International Preschools) and emphasizes a diverse, international environment.
A PTA page is not listed in the site navigation. The lack of a dedicated PTA page is apparent from the main navigation, which includes Home, Staff Profiles, Philosophy, Academic Programs, Admissions, Fees, Location, Summer School, and Gallery but not PTA. A formal PTA structure or governance is therefore not published on the site. Parent involvement appears through school events documented in the Gallery, such as GWIS Annual Day 2025, Winter Concert 2024, and Halloween 2024. The school also offers after‑school/aftercare and clubs, including Reading/Writing Club, language clubs, Olympiad prep, and Art & Craft clubs, which provide additional parent‑facing opportunities. Transport and operational roles are supported by staff, including a Bus Services team lead, indicating coordinated school‑community logistics. There is no published detail about PTA meetings or fundraising activities on the site.
