High School Opening: Laurus International School opens Year 10 (9th Grade) in Shiba, Minato-ku 

Finding a secondary school in Tokyo that combines a strong focus on science and technology with a globally respected curriculum can be challenging for families. To meet that need, Laurus International School of Science has opened its Upper Secondary School, Year 10 in Shiba, Minato.  

Like in the Primary and Lower Secondary years, Upper Secondary brings together Laurus’ expertise in STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics), entrepreneurship & innovation with the internationally recognised Cambridge International curriculum, known worldwide for academic rigour and clear pathways to higher education. Students learn in a supportive environment designed to help them develop subject mastery, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. 

Cambridge International is offered in over 10,000 schools across 160+ countries and is widely recognised by universities worldwide. These qualifications emphasise subject mastery, rigorous assessment, and flexibility in subject choice, so learners can play to their strengths while developing research, analysis, and independent thinking. 

In Tokyo the IB (International Baccalaureate) curriculum is not hard to find among international schools. Fewer schools provide the Cambridge pathway, which has distinct advantages for students who prefer to specialise in subjects or who value clearly structured, externally marked assessments. Cambridge IGCSEs and A Levels allow learners to build depth in areas such as mathematics, sciences, or the humanities while still developing transferable skills like critical thinking and communication. For families, this means a clear academic route to top universities abroad. 

Our campus in Minato-ku is centrally located, well connected by public transport, and equipped with modern classrooms, specialist science laboratories, technology studios, and maker spaces designed for immersive STEAM learning.  

With small classes, experienced teachers, and strong support systems, Laurus Upper Secondary helps students prepare for a dynamic and constantly changing world—and opening possibilities to higher education abroad and within Japan.
