TOP > IBDP at Kokusai > From the Principal
Tokyo Metropolitan Kokusai High School was established in 1989. We are promoting initiatives as a pioneer of international education at metropolitan high schools, and our graduates are active in various fields in Japan and abroad. Our school mission is to cultivate students who possess confidence and a strong sense of responsibility, set ambitious goals, and address challenges proactively, thereby contributing to society.
In May 2015, Kokusai High School was authorized as an International Baccalaureate World School to offer the Diploma Programme (DP). The IBDP has been implemented at our school since April 2016. IBDP students complete the program with diligence and earn the diploma. Many matriculate to leading universities overseas. This year, a number of our fifth cohort of IBDP graduates completed their university studies, and some have begun professional careers both in Japan and abroad.
The IB aims to develop young people who are inquisitive, knowledgeable, and caring, and who respect diverse cultures. Through the DP, students strengthen their inquiry skills and develop broad academic competence, while also learning to collaborate with others with an open and internationally minded perspective.
We warmly welcome students who aspire to learn, embrace challenges, and engage with the international community.
