Inspired by traditional Japanese crests, known as mon, our design brings our Commitment, Mission, and Core Values together in a unified whole. Mon serve as unique emblems that represent identity. The center of ASIJ’s crest utilizes a common motif known as mitsudomoe, made of three chasing commas, which signify a hope or wish and the threefold nature of the universe. ASIJ’s mitsudomoe is designed to remind us of our commitment to know, value, and care for each child, but it is also serves as a reminder that we must all develop empathy and respect for others. Our Commitment flows naturally into our Mission, which is underpinned by three Core Values: Character, Courage and Compassion.

Vision-Led Inspired by the Japanese concept of ikigai, “a reason for being,” our design identifies the four key elements of ASIJ’s vision: Know, Value, Care; Engage, Learn, Lead; Find Your Element; and Make a Difference. These four elements are the pillars of ASIJ’s vision for the future, the strategic goals that should animate discussion and guide decision-making over the coming years. Our ability to achieve this vision is dependent on a number of conditions. First, we must continue to emphasize the unique advantages and opportunities afforded to us as The American School in Japan. Second, we must commit the necessary resources to ensure our faculty and facilities are both world-class, while the experiences we provide students are transformational.
