Choosing the right school is vital to your child’s future. In today’s interconnected world, an international education provides the confidence and skills needed to succeed academically and socially. For families whose first language is not English, GIIS Tokyo offers a supportive environment that blends global exposure with structured language development from the early years.
Our English Language Proficiency Programme (ELPP) is designed to help non-native English speakers build fluency, confidence and academic competence within a multicultural setting. Supported by our global network across 11 countries and integrated English support within the curriculum and co-curricular programmes, GIIS Tokyo prepares students to thrive in higher education and beyond.
The English Language Proficiency Programme (ELPP) at GIIS Tokyo is a research-based, internationally aligned programme designed to build fluency and confidence in English. Structured in stages, it supports language development from speaking and listening to reading and writing while integrating academic skills. Aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the ELPP also incorporates the Cambridge Global English Series, promoting international communication and critical thinking skills.
The ELPP is a structured English language support programme that builds fluency, confidence, and academic communication skills for non-native English speakers.
By strengthening English proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and comprehension, ELPP enables students to fully engage in lessons and thrive across the curriculum.

Parents are encouraged to contact the school administration for detailed information about availability and applicable fees. 5. How is it decided if a student needs ESL support at GIIS Japan?
At GIIS Japan, the need for ESL (English as a Second Language) support is determined based on the student’s assessment test during the admission process. During the school year, students may also be recommended for ESL support based on their performance in ongoing classroom assessments and academic progress. 6. What is the difference between regular classes and ESL classes at GIIS Japan?
At GIIS Japan, regular classes follow the standard curriculum level and learning objectives for each grade. In ESL (English as a Second Language) classes, students receive level-appropriate worksheets and targeted language support, with activities that gradually increase in difficulty to help improve their English proficiency.
