We would be delighted to welcome you and your family to our school. In 2026 we will have seats available for U.S. Diplomatic Families, U.S. Military Families, Other Country Diplomatic Families as well as limited seats for Local Japanese Families and Expat Families stationed in Japan.

While our mission is to cater for the needs of the U.S. Diplomatic Community, we welcome a wide range of families to promote cross-cultural commuication and experiences. We wish to share with our Diplomatic families many of the wonderful unique qualities of Japan, so in welcoming some local Japanese families, we can build bonds and friendship while teaching each other about our own cultures.

We also welcome children of third country Diplomatic Families at post in Japan, and work to build the relationships between our Embassy and yours. Let’s join together and share our children’s experiences of living and learning in a foregin country.

For our Expat friends, we welcome you to also join us to share your life experiences with us too, and bring a true international feeling to our Embassy Preschool.
