Languages taught at SIS Tokyo are English and Japanese. English is the language of instruction for most subjects, with EAL available to support non-native English learners in Grades 1–10. Japanese is offered through two programs: JAL (Japanese as an Additional Language) for learners who need Japanese as a new language, and the Kokugo Programme for proficient Japanese speakers, the latter adapted to English as the primary instruction language. Language learning in English and Japanese is tailored to proficiency levels, with support for students' native languages.

Shinagawa International School (SIS), founded in 2007, offers the full International Baccalaureate continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). The Seaside Campus serves Grades 1–3 and forms part of the school’s PYP pathway across SIS campuses in Tokyo. Located in the Shinagawa Seaside area, the campus is supported by practical student services, including an organised school bus system with multiple routes and on-site daycare for younger children. Student life includes a structured afterschool programme with activities spanning arts, sports, academic clubs and service initiatives, as well as residential trips and swimming classes that are part of the school programme. SIS also operates a four-week Summer School, which features hands-on projects across science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, along with weekly field trips. These programmes reflect the school’s emphasis on inquiry-based learning and real-world experiences within the IB framework.
