If I left YIS, I would miss the good food that Dragon Dining makes and my friends. My favorite food is the fried rice on Fridays. They do a great job of making it!

Training with colleagues for a Spartan race in early 2018 was demanding but full of laughs and camaraderie.

Working with students of many different ages to plan and execute experiments, and to see them discover something they didn't know before, makes me very happy

In our first year at YIS, I decided to become a class parent so I could get to know the community and help out. It definitely helped me to get to know other parents and kids.

My children do recognize that the IB is unique and feel very fortunate to be here. They are critical thinkers capable of self-reflection and assessment.

We live very close to school and commuting is easy for us. We wanted to live close to school so that I could get involved in various activities at school.
Carey Shea
Class of 1969
I would like to relive all the years I was at the school and I wouldn't have done anything differently. I loved the culture there.
Tim Cole
Class of 1974
I had just graduated from the grade 6 of a Japanese public school and it was my first day at YIS in the grade 7. I had to write a composition, but I didn't know what the word composition meant.
Virginia Russolo
Class of 2013
I fondly remember my time at YIS after graduating and how much I enjoyed working with clay in the late afternoon when the winter light would fill the art studio and my only witness was Mount Fuji.
Jeff Zaveloff
Class of 1985
The relationships I formed at YIS are unparalleled to any other I have formed since. Once a Dragon, always a Dragon.

Learning changes our thinking and behaviors, enabling us to acquire skills, knowledge and attitudes while providing a catalyst for creativity, critical thinking and independent reasoning.
