School website

Teikyo School UK is a small, Japan-affiliated international sixth-form located in Buckinghamshire with just 31 pupils, offering a distinctly global educational experience centred on the International Baccalaureate and specialist pathways in art and football. Entry is at age 16, with both boarding and day options available, and the school leverages its proximity to London and wider UK context to embed cultural immersion into academic life. Founded in 1989 as Japan's first overseas IB school, it maintains strong links to the Teikyo University network and targets Japanese nationals and internationally mobile families seeking a genuinely bilingual, UK-based sixth-form experience. The school's tiny cohort size enables highly personalised teaching and close pastoral attention, though this also creates a niche, potentially insular community.

  • IB Diploma with Japanese language option (mother-tongue pathway), rare outside Japan
  • Genuinely immersive English environment combined with structured Japanese language maintenance
  • Specialist football and art routes with vocational credibility (FC Tokyo partnerships, art foundation prep)
  • Intimate 31-pupil cohort enabling bespoke university preparation and pastoral support
  • Strategic boarding location: 40 mins to central London, 20 mins to Heathrow, ideal for international families

Who thrives here

Japanese nationals and Asian expatriates seeking IB over A-levels; serious art or football aspirants willing to blend academics with specialism; pupils who thrive in very small, tight-knit communities and value structured English language support; families committed to a bilingual, Japan-UK educational bridge.
