New International School (Tokyo)

New International School (NewIS) was founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 2001 as a dual language, multiage by design (3 year age range of students in each class) international school, initially for students from age 3 to grade 9, following the mission of Steven Parr, the founding director/head of school, and under the sponsorship of Iwata Gakuen.

It extended to Grade 10 from August 2012, Grade 11 from August 2013, and Grade 12 from August 2014. The school was accredited through grade 9 by the Middle States Association of College and Schools (MSA) in 2005, granted non-profit status as a school foundation in 2006, and accredited through grade 12 by both MSA and the Council of International Schools (CIS) in May 2014. It is a member of the Japan Council of International Schools (JCIS) and a founding member of the Tokyo Association of International Preschools (TAIP)
