Top 7 A Level Schools in Tokyo

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Tokyo is dominated by local curricula, IB, and American pathways, but there is a niche set of international and British-curriculum providers offering Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels or similar British sixth form routes. This guide focuses on those options and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

For a niche route like A Levels in Tokyo, useful datapoints include:

• Whether a provider offers full Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels or only selected subjects
• A*/A and A*/A/B rates where British A Levels are available
• Clarity around university destinations for British-route students
• The size and maturity of the A Level cohort
• Accreditation with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel
