New School Update
To commemorate our 20th year of operation, we at ABC International School are fulfilling our dreamof having a custom designed preschool built in the heart of Motoazabu, Tokyo! For the last 18
months we have been working with Kowa Real Estate (the building division Nippon Steel Japan) andthe architectural firm Q Torque in Tokyo and are excited to share our new school plans with you!

We have completed the Shinto ground sanctifying ceremony and we will be in our new school for
September 2017!

During the design process, as well as safety and child-centered design it was important to us to bringelements of LIGHT, NATURE, CONNECTIVITY and WHIMSY to our school. Some of the features that
we are most excited about are:-Nature garden and a play garden for children to build gross motor skills and embrace nature.
-Lots of natural light with low windows at children level.
-Gym with a ride on ramp as an indoor/outdoor connector.
-Large open-concept Preschool and Pre-k learning environments.
-Child-sized toilets and large accessible sinks in each classroom.
-Bright, dedicated art studio/atelier that opens onto an outdoor classroom and sensory play area.
-The peek-a-boo window between the Pre-k floor and the Preschool ceiling to connect siblings andthe ABC community throughout the day.
-Ride on track and tunnel for trikes and playcars.
-Side welcome gate that features a big entrance for adults and a little entrance for little people!
-Floor heating in our learning environments to provide gentle warmth for our little ones as they cozyup and play.
Here are the school architectural designs!

We are importing Natural Pod furniture & classroom lofts from Canada. This cutting edge
environmentally sustainable, zero emissions, food grade furniture is not only healthy for ourstudents and our environment, but also aesthetically beautiful! We will proudly be the first school inJapan to use these premier preschool environments. Additionally, our Hospital grade air scrubbers
will continue to run daily to ensure the cleanest air for our students and teachers.

We are EXTREMELY excited and proud to share this news with you and the community that has beenso supportive of ABC International School through the years. In keeping with ABC's dedication toexcellence in Early Childhood Education we will be limiting enrollment numbers to continue toprovide the very best environment for our students. Existing ABC students will be prioritized for a
September space.
