Yoyogi International School - Yoyogi Campus

Yoyogi International School operates two campuses in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward, both within a short walk of Yoyogi-koen Station on the Chiyoda Line and Yoyogi-Hachiman Station on the Odakyu Line. The Yoyogi Campus is at 5-67-5 Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 151-0053, near Yoyogi Park. The Jinnan Campus is at 7-1 Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0042, also in central Shibuya and close to Yoyogi Park.

Currently, the Yoyogi Campus serves Kindergarten through Grade 1, while the Jinnan Campus serves Grade 2 through Grade 8. In August 2026, a High School program (Grade 9) will begin, and a Pre-K program will operate at the Yoyogi Campus. For the 2026–2027 school year, all Grade school students are planned to be on the Jinnan Campus.

Yoyogi International School is a private, co-educational day school. It is an IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP). Boarding facilities are not part of the school.

The school provides English as an Additional Language (EAL) support. The EAL program follows WIDA standards and IB PYP philosophies, with co-planning and co-teaching between EAL and homeroom teachers. An EAL fee applies per term.

There is no formal country affiliation; the school operates in Japan as an IB World School. The IB listing places the school in Japan, and CIS accreditation notes its Japanese operation.

No religious affiliation is publicly stated by the school.

Public calendars on the school's site do not publish daily start and end times. The school hosts a calendar and event schedule, but times are not listed in those public pages. External directories commonly list a typical day around 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with after-school activities extending to around 4:00–5:00 p.m.

The school offers morning and afternoon bus service, with three dedicated school buses. Routes cover areas including Roppongi, Aoyama, Shirokane, Shinjuku, Ichigaya, and Meguro. Bus fees are separate from tuition, and routes may change based on demand.

Notes on published figures and missing items

- The published 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 fee tables list the line items shown above. One inconsistency appears in the 2025–2026 middle-school section where the page lists an annual tuition figure and separately lists per-term amounts whose sum differs from that annual line; both the term breakdown and the alternate annual figure appear on the published tuition page. Where specific fees (for example, exact bus fares or uniform prices) are not shown, they are described as separate/available but no fixed price is published.

The school serves a diverse international community. Families come from more than 30 countries, and approximately 70% of students are foreign nationals, with the remainder consisting of local Japanese students. Any single nationality is capped at a maximum of one third of a class.
