Founded in 2019 by parents to meet the needs of families in Japan as a complement to the existing educational offer, EIFJ, with a capacity of 150 students, now serves a diverse community of students from kindergarten through middle school, including an international nursery. Aspiring to obtain accreditation from the French Ministry of National Education, our institution has been issued a Certificate of Compliance from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, enabling access to Government subsidies, and is also part of the global network of French international schools managed by the Mission Laïque Française, which includes 108 institutions in 32 countries, a network operating within the legal framework of agreements with AEFE, the French Ministry of Education, and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
