Prime International School is an educational institution in Ebisu, Tokyo, comprising a preschool and kindergarten for young children and an afternoon academic school for returnees and international students. It focuses on developing bilingualism and global academic skills through English-medium instruction.

Teaching approach

The school aims to cultivate strong English proficiency and rich intellectual development in its students. Its educational approach emphasizes critical thinking, encouraging students to form and test hypotheses to reach conclusions rather than focusing solely on rote memorization. The curriculum is designed to mirror the content studied by children in English-speaking countries.

Programmes

The school operates two main divisions: Prime Junior and Prime Academia. Prime Junior serves children aged 1 to 6, utilizing a phonics and reading curriculum designed to achieve native-level proficiency in four language skills before elementary school. Prime Academia is an afternoon international school for students from preschool through high school, offering subjects such as reading, writing, and science. For those without prior international experience, the school provides a Pre-Academia course covering English conversation and phonics.
