K. International School Tokyo teaches the IB / British curriculum.

Curricula

IB, British

PYP (K1–G5) and IB DP (G11–G12) are the IB-authorized programmes today. Middle years use Edexcel (Pearson) iLowerSecondary (G6–G8) and IGCSE (G9–G10), not the IB MYP — despite KIST having been MYP-authorized in 2003. Best described as IB at both ends with a British qualification bridge in the middle.
