When we asked about the schools in Japan, they said...

"Visit first if possible, and any other school you may be interested in. I thought the previous reviewer was extremely unfair to the school and did not even care to get the facts straight, which is why I decided to write this review. Whether the school is right for an expat would depend on the expat. Obviously this one is not appropriate for someone wanting a monolingual education, but there were a number of sabbatical families at the school only for a year and they mostly found it a positive experience.. I visited several of the international schools in Tokyo myself and I thought this one was by far the most interesting and innovative. It depends on what one wants," wrote an expat with kids at New International School of Japan in Tokyo.

"Definately a great school, if we were going back to Japan, I would certainly to back to BST>," commented one expat when asked about British School in Tokyo in Shibuya.
