There are a number of ways you can support Tsukuba International School.
Tell Your Friends About Us
One easy way you can support us is by letting your friends know about us! Because the population of Tsukuba moves around a lot, it can be hard for us to make sure that everyone who should know about us can find us. So, if you know of any people who might be interested to know that there is a world-class international school in Tsukuba, please tell them all about us and encourage them to fill out an expression of interest form if they have any questions.
Make a Monetary Donation to the School
Tsukuba International School (TIS) relies on the kind generosity of the people and corporations in our community. Donations that we receive are used to purchase educational resources and equipment, and to offer scholarships to our students.
As TIS is registered as a “special public interest promotion corporation” (特定公益増進法人 in Japanese), donations to the school are tax deductible for individuals and corporations.
If you would like to make a donation to Tsukuba International School, please fill out the form, then transfer the donation to the following bank account.

Support our Library
We have a library collection of over 10,000 books, but you can never have enough books in a school! If you have high-quality English or Japanese books that would be suitable for children aged 3 to 16, and you would like to donate them to our school, please contact us . We also accept children’s books in other languages such as Chinese, Korean, Bengali, French, Spanish, Thai, Hindi, Tagalog, Swedish, or Nepali.
We buy a lot of books throughout the year to support our students’ research, so another way to support our library is to send us Amazon Gift Cards. We tend to use Amazon.co.jp and Amazon.com the most.
Donate Bellmarks
Bellmarks are little bell-shaped labels on many products that are sold in Japan. Here are some examples (pdf). If you cut off these “marks” from the product and donate them to the school, we can use them to buy educational supplies for our students. This is a nation-wide activity, and most schools in Japan participate in it, so it is very a well-known way to support schools in Japan.
