New International School of Japan is located in Tokyo's Minami-Ikebukuro area and operates across multiple buildings, with the Excellence Ikebukuro Building serving as the main campus and a new six-story A-Bis Minami-Ikebukuro Building added for the secondary school from July 2025. The NewIS Library is on the first floor of the Excellence Ikebukuro Building and is supported by the NewIS AccessIt Library system. All classes have weekly timetabled visits to the library to borrow books, and students use a library bag to carry items; the first bag is provided at no charge, with replacement bags costing 1,000 yen. The campus is within a 9- to 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, with access to multiple lines, reflecting the school's urban location and appeal to relocating families.
The school's academic facilities include a dedicated library on the first floor of the Excellence Ikebukuro Building, accessed through the NewIS AccessIt Library system. Students have weekly library visits as part of the curriculum, and borrowing is managed via a library account.
