15-18 Adolescent Program

Beyond Preparation, Into Life Itself

Rooted in Tokyo's international community, adolescents engage in meaningful work through internships, entrepreneurial ventures, and community partnerships. They discover their purpose by testing themselves against genuine challenges, developing the clarity of vision needed to shape the future of human society.

This is Montessori's vision for adolescence, fully realized: an education where students become confident communicators, culturally responsive global citizens, resilient problem-solvers, and passionate change agents ready to bridge differences with compassion and pursue work that serves the greater world.

What is a Montessori High School?

We believe that to shape the future, adolescents must actively participate in the present. Our 15-18 Adolescent Program responds to the two needs of adolescents: Protection during their transition from childhood to adulthood and a rich understanding of the society they are about to enter. Students spend their days engaging in interdisciplinary projects, running small businesses, and engaging in internships across Tokyo; all while honing their passions and purpose.

What’s most important is that all learning is designed to impact the world in a positive way. Our focus isn’t on memorization of knowledge, but meaningful application of it.

What Makes MST's Program Distinctive

Real-World Integration
- Students run businesses, complete internships, and tackle authentic problems in Tokyo and beyond.
Individualized Montessori Approach
- Each adolescent follows an individualized pathway based on their passions.
Graduates Who Know Themselves
- Our students graduate knowing who they are, understanding their purpose, and with a realistic plan for pursuing it. They’ve already done the work of adulthood—and it shows in university applications and beyond.

University Pathways

MST's 15-18 program is designed to ensure students have clear pathways to universities in Japan and around the world. We are pursuing accreditation through Cognia, an internationally recognized accrediting body that will ensure our graduates' transcripts are accepted by universities globally, including Japanese institutions. This accreditation validates that our innovative, student-centered approach meets rigorous academic standards while honoring authentic Montessori principles.
