New International School (Tokyo)
New International School (NewIS) is a Pre K through High School international school in Tokyo, Japan.〔(NewIS Homepage )〕 The school opened on September 6, 2001, under the sponsorship of Iwata Gakuen and following the mission of Steven Parr, the current Director/Head of School. Iwata Gakuen established the school first as a company applying for and receiving status as a non-profit school (Gakko Hojin) in 2006. At this point the school officially became “Gakko Hojin Iwata Gakuen New International School of Japan.” A year prior to receiving the non-profit status, the school was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA).〔(Middle States Association )〕 In 2013, NewIS renewed its accreditation following a joint accreditation visit from MSA and the Council of International Schools (CIS).〔(Council of International Schools )〕 NewIS is a member of the Japan Council of International Schools (JCIS)〔(Japan Council of International Schools )〕 and the Tokyo Association of International Preschools (TAIP).〔(Tokyo Association of International Preschools )〕
==Characteristics==
Based on the pedagogies of both Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget, NewIS utilises an educational philosophy of hands-on, constructivist teaching methods. The primary teaching style is to create authentic learning experiences in which students are able to apply what they have learned in practical situations. Two important elements of education at NewIS are resource based education and the use of a thematic approach (Thematic Learning). As a resource based school, NewIS classrooms have a wide range of resources which students and teachers can access freely; from interactive whiteboards (Smart Board) in every classroom, to up to eight student computers in every homeroom, and an extensive bilingual library. These resources are used to facilitate theme based learning where students are able to integrate the various curriculum elements on projects, independent research activities, and group assignments.〔(Japan School News, Sept 10 2012 )〕
