Students and faculty from over sixty countries are represented at Seisen, with English being the main language of instruction. It offers the International Baccalaureate program for grades 11 and 12.[3] It is accredited by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Japan), New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the European Council of International Schools.[3] It teaches Montessori kindergarten (coed, ages 3–6) and grades 1-12 (girls only, ages 6–18).[3] According to the Good Schools Guide International, "The school is popular and has a good reputation."[3] According to Anne-Marie De Mejía, Seisen International School provides a specifically Christian orientation in its programmes.[2] HistoryThe school was founded in 1949 by Sister María Asunción de Lecubarri from the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus[3] in response to requests from United States Air Force families seeking an education for their children. The school began as a kindergarten in 1949 with four American students, moved to Gotanda in 1962 with 70 students and added a first grade. By 1970, the school was up to grade 9 and in 1973, a year after Seisen was moved to the present location in Yoga, the school was extended to include Grade 12.[4] CIS International Schools Directory 2009/10, mentions that Seisen has approximately 700 students from around 60 nations.[5] Campus overviewThere are 35 general classrooms, 3 indoor playrooms, a multipurpose room and a kindergarten hall. The facilities also include three science laboratories (for biology, chemistry, and physics classes), a cafeteria, a drama room, a music room, an art room, a pottery room, a media center, and a computer center which includes a large computer classroom, a smaller, drop-in computer lab which is available both during and after school, and an Information Technology room. The school has an infirmary and a full-time nurse on duty. The facilities also include a convent building and a chapel. In 2013, a new futsal field was added to expand the ever-growing Seisen campus, as well as to provide further opportunities for physical exercise, including PE classes and extracurriculars.
