About Yes International School
While Japanese schools work to build fluency in Japanese, and international schools work to build fluency in English, our goal is to provide students with a bilingual education in both languages, in order to achieve fluency in both English and Japanese. We have had great success with this and the vast majority of our students are proficient in both languages by the time they graduate.

Our school mostly has a no-testing polcy, as we believe in formative rather than summative assesment, but our students do take the TOEFL Step 1, Step 2, and Junior tests twice a year to monitor their progress in the English Language. In addition, students also take nationalised Japanese Kanji Skills tests, and Math Skills test for the same purpose.
For the TOEFL Junior test for Grade 4-6 students, we are proud to say that our students achieved an average of CEFR B1 rating which translates to being able to pass the Eiken 2 or Pre-1 test. By Grade 6, most students have achieved a B1-B2 rating and can easily pas Eiken Pre-1.
