Moving from primary school to secondary school is a major transition for all students. They face new challenges and are given more independence than they are accustomed to in their educational journey.
At UIA, we understand that this change can be intimidating, but our teachers are well-prepared to guide them through the transition.

As students progress through the lower secondary curriculum, they develop their skill set of becoming more independent, responsible, and connected learners.

We look forward to you joining us so that we can guide you towards realising your potential of becoming a confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged learner!

Mr. Paul McKee 
Head of Lower Secondary

Cambridge Lower Secondary is typically for learners aged 11 to 14 years. It helps you prepare students for the next step of their education, providing a clear path as they progress through the Cambridge Pathway in an age-appropriate way.

We believe education works best when curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment align. Cambridge Lower Secondary prepares students for the next stage by developing knowledge, understanding and skills across the programme. We encourage teaching practice that engages the youngest students in their own learning, and we support our programmes with high-quality resources.

SOCIAL MEDIA

I hereby agree to permit UIA International School of Tokyo to take photographs of my child during school activities for the purpose of educating students, promoting the school, or promoting public education. The school may publish photographs of my child and/or samples of work done by my child in a variety of ways. The publications could include, but are not limited to, school newsletters (online and in hard copy), UIA International School of Tokyo’s Internet and Intranet websites, content-sharing websites such as Facebook or YouTube, annual school magazines and local newspapers. Published photographs and work will be viewable by third parties.

Whilst every effort will be made to protect the identity of my child, UIA International School of Tokyo cannot guarantee that my child will not be able to be identified from the photograph or work.

BUS INFORMATION

Parents are not allowed inside the school buses.

For Kindergarten students, parents/legal guardians MUST be at the bus stop wearing the lanyard for pick-up and drop.

If a parent/guardian is not present at the bus stop at the scheduled time for the bus arrival, the student cannot get off the bus. We will wait for 1 minute and try to contact parents. After that, we will bring the child back to Kiba campus.

Parents/Guardians will be notified and are required to visit the Kiba campus to pick up their child. In such a scenario, a penalty will be charged to the parents at the hourly rate of ¥11,000.

UIA will consider adding a new stop for students from Kindergarten to Grade 2 in the area of the existing routes.

The school bus may arrive earlier or later than the scheduled time, depending on traffic conditions. If the bus arrives early, they will wait until the scheduled departure time. If the bus does not arrive at the bus stop within 20 minutes after the scheduled arrival time, please contact 080-1187-9407.

Parents should report to the 3F to drop off or pick up their child.

If you want to cancel the bus service for the day, kindly inform us well in advance
