Tokyo New Education

TNE is a brand new website run by parents, educators, and community members who care about the education of our children in Tokyo. We are a group primarily composed of bicultural families, international families from various countries, and Japanese kikokushijo (returnees). We are a small community and have been sharing information, community and advice for seven years.

Through most of the last decade, we at TNE have become extremely cynical and at times irate over the situation of English language education in Japan. We have watched as the big international schools have labeled our kids with numbers instead of names, lumped them into classes in which they either fall behind or are not allowed to shine, and focus more on their own reputation than the creative and scholastic needs of our students. We have watched Japanese schools neglect our students and their multi-cultural identities. Yet we remain hopeful and excited about the direction of Tokyo international education and the realization of our niche.

We welcome new members and articles/editorials written by anyone. Please email us anytime.
