EtonHouse International School Tokyo Roppongi campus offers a unique, first-of-its-kind international school programme. Supported by the EtonHouse Research Centre, the elementary curriculum at our Roppongi campus will have all the rigour and depth that EtonHouse has been delivering for more than 30 years.
Programme Features
Small class sizes with rich student-teacher interactions
Your child will be a part of a close-knit community where every teacher knows every child. Our boutique environment will give your child dedicated and individualised support.
Curriculum & Community Classroom
EtonHouse welcomes students of primary level. While offering a concept-driven and inquiry-led curriculum, our students’ learning is not limited within our classrooms. Complementing our academic strength, children will be engaged learning for many of their units of Inquiry.
A wide, borderless, community classroom
Learning is a process that involves the entire community. In order for students to become contributing citizens to society, and to enrich your child’s learning experience, we as teachers need to build a sense of community inside and outside our school building. Our neighbourhood’s rich educational resources such as museums, art galleries and beautiful parks make the whole of Tokyo our extended classroom.
Aquatic Program
Nearby pool facilities will be utilised for our comprehensive aquatic program. We believe learning to swim promotes self confidence, builds trust in others, contributes to academic achievement, benefits society and saves lives.
Nature Pedagogy & Karuizawa Program
We recognise the importance of children’s social emotional learning and this is introduced through many of the outdoor activities we offer in the nature of Karuizawa.
Our children’s physical ability, endurance and focus will also be developed through various rope courses, forest hikes and seasonal sports such as skiing.
To support children’s appreciation and respect for the natural world, they will have opportunities to work with he Karuizawa campus farm.
Our commitment to Nature pedagogy
Our unique outdoor education programme in Karuizawa, where we undertake camping trips, river trekking and forest explorations enhances the learning at EtonHouse Tokyo Roppongi. Your child will be closely connected with nature in a school that is committed to utilising the learning possibilities offered by the natural world.

EtonHouse International School Tokyo
Allison is passionate about early childhood education and has dedicated her career to working with young learners. For over 25 years she has held senior leadership positions in schools in the UK and in Hong Kong, where she has lived for the past 12 years. Allison joins EtonHouse Japan after a four year tenure as the principal of a large international kindergarten.
She believes that young children should be protagonists of their own learning supported by teachers who intentionally plan engagements and environments that embrace children’s interests; build on their expertise; provoke thinking; and promote learning. She values play as a medium through which children can make sense of their world, and she recognises the importance of giving children time to explore, discover, think and learn. Allison is a team player and knows that working collaboratively builds strong and effective practice across a school. Being in a school with a strong sense of community is very important to her. She understands that a close partnership between home and school can have a profound impact on children’s self identity, sense of belonging and on their learning.
