The language of instruction at BST is English. English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is provided to assist non-native English speakers in accessing the curriculum. Language learning is supported through dedicated language learning spaces, including a Language Classroom at the Azabudai Hills Campus, within BST's overall English-language, international education model.
The British School in Tokyo’s Showa Campus is located at Showa Women’s University in Taishido and opened in 2007. It serves Year 7 to Year 13 students. BST teaches a curriculum founded on the National Curriculum for England and in Key Stage 4 students follow an IGCSE programme taught by subject specialists. For senior students, BST states the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) is now embedded as the pathway for Years 12–13, alongside the school’s IGCSE foundations. Students can also access broader programmes such as BST Outdoors, with trips that include outdoor activities in Okutama, Tokyo prefecture. BST also states it runs 130 extracurricular clubs across the school.
