Learning Tree International School - Tsukishima (Prekinder & Elementary)

Learning Tree International School’s Tsukishima campus provides an English-immersion U.S. Common Core curriculum for children aged six months through elementary school. Students learn in multi-age cohorts, starting in the "Baby Seeds" and "Little Sprouts" groups, where instruction relies on phonics songs, puppetry, and tactile art projects. Rather than utilizing an on-site gymnasium, physical education takes place in neighboring local parks, integrating outdoor activity directly into the daily routine. The school introduces elementary science concepts through practical gardening activities and offers a robust music program where students learn to coordinate as an ensemble using ukuleles, xylophones, and percussive instruments. The Tsukishima campus specifically focuses on early childhood and elementary phases, requiring students to pass an annual exam to confirm they meet grade-level national standards. Japanese language instruction is also integrated into the schedule to ensure students can communicate functionally in their host country.
