The Montessori School of Tokyo operates across Forest Campus, Orchard Campus, and Grove Campus, with bright, child-sized classrooms and a garden-based outdoor learning environment that forms a core part of the curriculum. The Forest Campus library houses close to 10,000 volumes, is staffed full-time by the MST librarian, and offers group visits for younger students as well as open access for older students; library accounts are available to the MST community and the space closes at 4:20 p.m. The Multipurpose Room (MPR) provides a flexible venue for enrichment programs, after-school activities, and school events, while the Art Studio opened in 2014 serves as a dedicated space for arts, design, and crafts with a stocked materials supply. The Music Studios are equipped with pianos, keyboards, recorders, flutes, percussion, guitars, and electric drums for daily practice and music education, and the outdoor MST Garden offers an age-inclusive outdoor classroom with a Montessori-trained teacher guiding activities. The school also utilizes nearby parks for recess and field activities and coordinates access to a local gymnasium for physical education and swimming facilities, with opportunities to attend public concert halls for performances and events.
