Help make a difference
KIST is a truly international school that caters to the needs of children from around the world as well as those from Japan, and is recognized as an educational foundation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. As an international school, however, KIST is further categorized as a “miscellaneous school” and as such, is ineligible to receive governmental funding. In order to provide a high-quality, academically challenging, holistic education for students, we therefore rely almost entirely on annual school fees.
In consideration of our mission, we welcome the generosity of both individuals and corporations in supporting future generations through the giving of monetary donations that are used to enrich the educational environment for our students.
Your gift will make a difference by helping us to:
- Fund largescale capital projects (such as the new school building scheduled for completion in 2022)
- Enhance and expand our facilities
- Expand and renew vital resources for libraries, laboratories and the like
- Utilize and maintain the latest educational technology
- Further support our extracurricular clubs and service activities
- Provide financial support to students who would not normally have the opportunity to receive a high-quality international education (Future Horizons Scholarship Program)
KIST was recognized as a “tokutei koeki zoshin hojin” (a “charitable organization for the purpose of continued public benefit”) by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on September 26, 2014. According to tax law, an amount of money given to the school specifically as a donation can be deducted from an individual or corporation’s annual income; however, donations made at the time of first enrollment before a child’s first day of school are not recognized under this arrangement.
