As our Guiding Beliefs, K. International School Tokyo believes that:
*Being a member of the school community requires a belief in and a commitment to uphold the school's mission and vision as well as a dedication to its guiding beliefs.
*A safe and supportive environment is one which encourages respect, responsibility, tolerance and compassion.

*Education is a shared partnership of mutual cooperation between students, parents/caregivers and the school.
*Cultural diversity enhances our school community as well as our understanding of the world.
*Central to being internationally minded is recognizing that diverse, rich cultures exist in all regions of the world, and demonstrating a tolerance for the varied beliefs and traditions of these cultures.
*The language, customs, traditions and cultural beliefs of our host country, Japan, serve as an important resource in enriching the learning experience.
*A regularly reviewed, comprehensive international curriculum that is linked across the school, is essential in preparing students for their future lives.
*Being a global citizen requires knowledge and skills in the use of technology; however, the ability to function independently and act promptly in the real world also requires core knowledge and skills independent of technology.
*Special emphasis should be placed on development of skills in language and mathematics as essential learning tools.
*Setting high academic expectations supports the development of strong academic skills which increase the chances for future academic success.
*Students learning through a second language require more learning time and a greater degree of effort and support than those learning through their first language.
*Native language development and maintenance is important in developing identity, self-esteem and cognitive ability, and ultimately contributes to academic success.
*Maintaining a safe and collaborative learning environment free from bullying and harassment requires the support of the school community as a whole in taking appropriate action when necessary.
*Reinforcing appropriate dress and behavior standards promotes a respectful, responsible and safe school environment.

We are multiage and dual language by design, and we are free from the rigidity and standardization of the age-grade system. Our students are remarkably engaged as we provide a multitude of resources and a positive ethos that is hard to duplicate in traditional school settings. *Mastery* motivation is usual, as we do not make children feel good or bad by virtue of their comparison with others, instead respecting their readiness and timing for learning. The style largely breaks the so-called *cycle of predictability" as the children experience being younger or older, more proficient or less proficient, over time, in their classes. They develop social, communication, and presentation skills as well as academic skills as an inherent part of their school experience. Whereas one of the classroom teachers may communicate and *teach* in English and the other in Japanese, the children are welcome and encouraged to use and develop all of their language proficiencies. We view them all as emerging bilinguals or multilinguals. This is a *translanguaging* context-based approach as opposed to a fundamentally monolingual rule-oriented approach to language acquisition and use. Parents are advised to check the mission on our website, as it does describe what we do, and to attend an orientation and tour as part of the application process.
