Two English-language immersion pathways are linked to Musashi International School Tokyo through its partner, Aoba Japan International Educational Systems. The Nakano campus offers the Aoba Bridge Program (ABP), a 100% English environment based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme to support preschoolers as they transition toward MIST. The Mitaka campus offers the Musashi International Course (MIC), a 100% English language preschool curriculum aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Cambridge International accreditation, preparing students to enter the MIST Elementary School. Both programs emphasize inquiry-based learning and language development in an English-only setting, with a focus on a clear progression into MIST's Cambridge-primary pathway.
