Important message regarding school tours

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, school tours are currently being conducted on a limited basis only with families interested in enrolling their children during the current school year, or to start the new school year in August 2021. In order to limit the number of people visiting our campus, only one parent and up to one Secondary-aged child (Grade 6 and above) are permitted to join school tours. Furthermore, in order to protect our school community, families registered for a school tour must complete a short survey prior to the visit. This will be sent to tour participants a few days prior to the visit. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Special message for overseas visitors

As per campus guidelines, visitors from overseas are not permitted to join school tours during the first 14 days of arrival in Japan. Thank you for your understanding.

Tours of the school are conducted for families of prospective students to view the facilities available and briefly observe classes in action. General outlines of the school philosophy, curriculum, admissions policies, application procedures and school fees will also be provided. Before attending a school tour, families are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the school by browsing this website and reading the KIST Admissions Handbook.

School tours are conducted on most school days (Monday to Friday only) during the year. Tours may be scheduled in the morning or afternoon and may take approximately 50 minutes to one hour depending on the area/s of the school you wish to view. Tours are not conducted on weekends, during school holidays (as indicated on the School Calendar), or on the days immediately before and after school vacation periods.

Tours are conducted in either English or Japanese. Please choose the language you are best at communicating in.
