Programme and pursuing authorization as an IB World School.

IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision. 

At Yoyogi International School, our curriculum integrates core philosophies and goals from leading educational curriculums to prepare all children for education systems around the world.

• US Common Core State Standards
• US State Guidelines (New York and Massachusetts Board of Education)
• National Education Technology Standards from the International Society for Technology (IT Curriculum only)
