4 ... Nishimachi Annual Report 2018
ext year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the school. While the world and school have changed dramatically since Tané Matsukata opened her family home, her fundamental values endure: develop your full talents— academic, athletic, artistic; become a global ambassador by endeavoring to understand the world through many different perspectives; and, most importantly, motivate yourself and others and actively contribute to the world without regard for public acclaim. The board and school leadership team have been busy working to finalize plans for the Green Building. Takumi Associates, a well-respected operational consulting firm for international schools has been engaged to assist with a final review of the design and project plans, to help ensure a successful outcome. In September 2018, the board made the decision to begin a high school feasibility study. With this feasibility study now underway, the board is taking time to ensure that the new Green Building design and project plan can accommodate the transition that would be involved should the high school project move ahead. We are pleased to confirm that the project remains on target for the new Green Building to be operational at the beginning of the 2020/2021 school year. Much-needed progress was made in the adoption of digital learning in the classroom. The pace of change in how we communicate,
learn, search for new information, and reach conclusions, in the age of internet, constant connectivity, and ubiquitous devices, remains astonishing. Decades will pass before we will fully understand the impact of the new digital parenting environment, but common sense, gut feeling, and reflection on the observations of those studying this area do provide important guidance for our school. The importance of awareness and rigorous application of our child protection policy was thrust upon our consciousness again this year as further allegations about inappropriate-staffto-student behavior and staff misconduct at our school in the 1970s were reported. Timely updates to the community will continue, a reminder of what can happen in the absence of vigilance and a culture of speaking out. The past year saw a thorough analysis of faculty compensation conclude with important adjustments to faculty compensation and updates to the faculty rules of employment. Challenging, upskilling, measuring performance, and rewarding outstanding teaching are tasks which never end, but focus, information, and mature thinking saw the school raise the bar higher in this area. We closed a terrific year of fundraising with ¥64,384,000 of total giving, a more than 63% increase from the previous year, with total
participation from 397 community members (a 19% increase from the previous year). Annual giving campaign donations were ¼39,504,000 (a 21% increase); most notable within this was the doubling of parent donations. We owe much of the success of our fundraising to the commitment of an incredibly devoted team of volunteers, including the TNK executive board, TNK committee chairs and members, the Nishimachi-Kai board, Outreach Scholarship event chairs, the school trustees and board of directors, and many, many more. I am truly grateful and humbled that Nishimachi can call on such a wonderful group of talented and dedicated people—they are the pride of Nishimachi. I speak on behalf of all of Nishimachi in expressing sincere gratitude to all our donors for their commitment to sustaining educational excellence. It takes consistent, deep support from all corners of our community to build and steward the Nishimachi we know and love. I look forward to working with many of you to reach higher and achieve even more in the year, and years, to come.

he 2017–2018 school year was a busy one. During the year, we focused heavily on addressing the recommendations of our last Council of International Schools (CIS) accreditation process. The accreditation report resulting from that process was very positive, with more commendations than recommendations. CIS expects that all the recommendations will be addressed and achieved well before their next accreditation visit in 2020.
Curriculum Matters
Applications The school received a total of 302 admissions applications, a 9% increase compared to the previous year. There were 158 kindergarten applications, 36 more than the previous year. During the January kindergarten screenings, 126 of 158 applicants were screened.
Nishimachi is committed to reviewing and enhancing the school curriculum, across grade levels and subject areas. Each year the school revises two of the major subject areas. During the 2017–2018 school year, the arts and health curriculums were reviewed. The recommendations from these reviews will be implemented in the 2018–2019 school year.
One hundred and eleven applications were received for grades 1 to 5. The number of applications received for grades 6 through 9 was 33, which was more than the previous year.
The child protection curriculum was implemented from kindergarten to grade 9. The introduction of this new curriculum was another phase in our planning to fully address the issue of student protection.
Enrollment The 2017–2018 school year began with 464 students, a record total, which was 17% more than the starting number for the previous year. One hundred and thirteen new students started the academic year, and eight more were admitted during the year. There were 115 students in the middle school, up 34% from the previous year.

The most significant curriculum event during the 2017–2018 school year was the introduction of our Nishimachi 2030 Graduate Statement. This statement sets out the personal qualities, skills, and understandings that we believe our students will require to be successful in the year 2030. The Nishimachi 2030 Graduate Statement has become the driving force of our teaching and learning programs.
Two other areas of focus within the curriculum during 2017–2018 were: • Improving our understanding of global and service learning: and • Improving student thinking skills.
Global and Service Learning Nishimachi has a long history of community service, particularly the giving of money to
Nishimachi Annual Report 2018 ...

8 ... Nishimachi Annual Report 2018
worthy causes. Giving money is a noble activity but often results in little authentic connection, ownership, responsibility, or learning. The idea of service learning is a much deeper concept, with sustainable and long-lasting learning and benefits. We are beginning to understand the differences between community service and service learning. Global learning includes intercultural and environmental aspects. During 2017–2018, our focus has been on developing environmental sustainability programs. To maximize learning, it is important that these programs are student driven and led. Good examples of sustainability programs now in operation include the H&M clothing recycling project and the paper-intotoilet-paper project, where our recycled paper and cardboard are returned to us as toilet paper.
Student Thinking Skills The levels of sophistication within our society are ever increasing. Therefore, for students to be successful, levels of student thinking need to become more sophisticated to meet this need. We have explored the ways that thinking skills and their development can be incorporated into our existing curriculum and programs. This work will continue in the 2018–2019 school year.
Strategic Plan There were four main recommendations arising from our last CIS/ WASC accreditation process, which form the basis of our strategic plan.
Recommendation 1. Develop a multiyear, comprehensive instructional technology plan with faculty and staff input to further advance the use of technology to support teaching and learning. Actions taken in 2017–2018: • Director of digital learning appointed; • Review of Nishimachi Educational Technology Handbook from 2015 completed; • Student and staff surveys on self-reported technology proficiencies, readiness, and interest areas completed; • SWOT (Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Opportunities/ Threats) completed; • ISTE Standards decided on as our digital learning curriculum; • ISTE “14 Essential Conditions” adopted as our “research-backed framework to guide implementation of the ISTE Standards, tech planning, and systemwide change”; • Total digital infrastructure revamped; and • Connected learning program costed, funded, and implemented.
(ELLI) in grade 3; • The CIS Community Survey; • The Canadian Tell Them From Me (TTFM) student survey; • The International Schools Assessment (ISA) writing test; and • An end-of-year Parent Perceptions Check. We also joined the international Learning Analytics Collaborative (LAC), a partnership of 18 leading international schools from around the world. The LAC schools work together to develop digital tools and processes to better interrogate and investigate learning data. One such tool that the LAC has developed is the “data dashboard,” which aids data analysis. We have now developed our own Nishimachi version of the data dashboard. The leadership team will work with staff to develop our skills in analyzing and using the data to inform teaching and learning.
Recommendation 2. Strengthen and formalize school-wide assessment data analysis to improve the quality of teaching and learning and to evaluate the effectiveness of programs.
The new survey measures provide us with valuable information on both individual student achievement and attitudes toward learning, and whole-school climate information. These surveys add to the information we already access through MAP testing, classroom assessments, and common writing and reading assessments.
Actions taken in 2017–2018: To establish baseline data, we administered, for the first time: • The Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory
Recommendation 3. Implement a Professional Development (PD) Plan targeted on school-wide priorities and individual professional growth needs. Nishimachi Annual Report 2018 ...
9
Actions taken in 2017–2018: A comprehensive PD Plan was shared with staff, identifying the many components of professional learning at Nishimachi. • The Professional Learning Team format was adapted at the end of last year, to allow for personal choice and collegial support and to ensure PLTs are research based, gathering evidence of improvements to student learning as a result of initiatives. • Whole-school PD included working with consultant Pam Harper on strategic planning, vision, and mission, and establishing school-wide principles of teaching and learning. Erin Kent provided PD on literacy and reader’s/writer’s workshop. • Staff members were able to access additional professional learning funds to enhance their professional practice by attending conferences together and working in teams. Recommendation 4. Re-evaluate the effectiveness and levels of support provided to all students, including ESL students, those with special learning needs, and students who are advanced and gifted. Actions taken in 2017–2018: Additional English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher deployed; first learning support intern position implemented.

Student Achievement
Future Challenges
One of the main issues raised in our endof-year Parent Perceptions Check was the uncertainty about current levels and standards at Nishimachi. The graphs to the right show that the achievement and standards at Nishimachi remain very high compared to all other international schools, against all EARCOS schools, and, significantly, against all “like” schools. Like schools are schools which are very similar in demographics and type to Nishimachi.
Two issues will continue to provide us with real challenges:
Facilities and General Maintenance Repair works were carried out throughout the school year and during the summer holiday at the end of the school year. Large maintenance projects completed include: • Renovation of the gym floor; • Major alterations to the middle school art room; • Extra accommodation and showers at Kazuno campsite; • New shutter door in garage; • Remodeling of cleaners’ room; • LED lights throughout the school; • Non-slip steps in Red Building; • Painting of many classrooms; • Renovation of the pottery space; • New furniture in seven more classrooms; and • Further improvement of IT infrastructure and resources. A total of 63 projects were under consideration.
• Student protection: The serious allegations made against a Nishimachi teacher from the period 1970–1980 have challenged us. The situation has made us look at our recruiting practices, our school processes, and our curriculum so that we minimize the risk of future student protection issues. • Grade 9 to 10 transition: Historically, grade 9 graduates from Nishimachi have mostly been able to transition to their high school of choice. Unfortunately, some of our 2017 grade 9 graduates had a different experience. Many of our destination high schools did not have enough actual vacancies for applicants. This is a situation that is predicted to continue for some years. A thorough examination of the feasibility of Nishimachi’s adding its own high school section will occur in the 2018–2019 school year.
Summary The 2017–2018 school year was successful in so many ways. We look forward to the 2018– 2019 school year being even more rewarding and successful.

ishimachi graduates know, care, and take action to bring value to others and make a genuine difference to the world.” This sentence from our 2030 Graduate Statement has been a particular focus in the elementary school this year. As the world transforms and moves into an unknown future, we value the need to develop future leaders who embody the Nishimachi spirit of advocating for diversity and taking initiative.
Mihoko Chida
Elementary School Principal
This past year Nishimachi elementary students have been challenged to think flexibly, innovatively, and critically in a variety of contexts. More than ever, our young learners have pursued their individual passions, as they designed their own projects to showcase their learning and literacy skills. Students explored their interests with guidance, support, and feedback from their teachers and peers. With updated furniture, classrooms have become flexible learning areas where students can determine how to collaborate and learn. Students from kindergarten to grade 5 participated in the global Hour of Code movement, joining millions of others to learn the basics of coding and celebrate computer science. Seesaw, an app designed for studentdriven digital portfolios, allows students to post their work in order to give and receive constructive peer feedback. When used as a reflection tool for students, it also allows for seamless communication between parents and the school. Parents can see, and comment on, a video in which their child reflects on his or her

learning, a photo taken by a classmate, or their child’s finished work. The 2030 Nishimachi Graduate Statement implores our students to have a service orientation and to understand the greater impact of their actions. Students were involved this year in raising awareness through our connection to the Swedish clothing retail company H&M’s worldwide clothing recycling project. The grade 3 students podcasted and interviewed a H&M representative about the fashion company’s efforts to reduce clothing waste and foster a circular economy. This interview is an example of how Nishimachi students, effortlessly shifting from Japanese to English, communicated their ideas in an effort to educate themselves and others. With a greater emphasis on service learning, children are connecting their learning from the classroom to the local and global community. From a grade 2 initiated recycling project to grade 5 students’ collecting batteries for the homeless, we have seen various examples of how students become leaders and learn to take the initiative in their own lives. Our vision is that Nishimachi students will make a difference to the world of the future, as our founder, Tané Matsukata, did when she started Nishimachi. We will continue to maximize learning so that students know, care, and take action.

t Nishimachi, our ultimate goal is that every student learns to live harmoniously in, and contribute to, world society. This is at the forefront of our minds in all that we do in our daily interactions with all members of the community, as we work towards developing young people who meet the characteristics detailed in the Nishimachi 2030 Graduate Statement.
skills in problem solving and realized that, at times, a smile may be all that is needed to make a connection. The student reflections highlighted their learning in the area of worldinterconnectedness:
Developing our service learning program was a key feature of the year, and we have witnessed grade 7 students assisting grade 1 students with their math, and grade 6 students inspiring grade 2 students to initiate a recycling program after seeing the videos made as a part of their social studies unit “Saving Planet Earth.” These authentic and relevant actions which build relationships and have an impact on others are vital elements in providing opportunities for the students to collaborate and adopt multiple perspectives.
“Smiles are what make great days in Cambodia—not money. The important thing is not just giving but how you take part in the interaction of giving.”
During the first week of winter break, the inaugural grade 9 service learning trip to Cambodia took place. This trip renewed our school’s commitment to the Kirivorn school, building on the financial support that Nishimachi has provided for the last 17 years. The students were challenged to move out of their comfort zones as they experienced the cultural aspects of the country and learned how other people live their daily lives. The Nishimachi students were impressive when leading activities at Kirivorn school, despite the limitations of language and facilities. They developed their

“The hardest thing was to put your life aside and be in the moment. Even though we cannot fully relate, we can listen.”
“Now that I have seen how they live, I cannot ignore it.” Contributions to the local community have continued as students delivered goods to the homeless of Shibuya, and connections were established with Seibi Homes, an orphanage in Akabane. Further afield, the annual middle school trip to Minami Sanriku, a town devastated by the 2011 Great Eastern Earthquake, also enabled our students to learn about being of service to others and taking action to effect change. Our aim is that students will have an understanding of their place in the world when they leave our community and will “know, care, and take action.”

Outreach Scholarship Program for Student Diversity
he Outreach Scholarship Program was first launched during the 2003–2004 academic year as a way of adding more student diversity—and opportunities for the cross-fertilization of ideas—to the Nishimachi campus. The idea was to attract qualified candidates from various socioeconomic, racial, cultural, and geographic backgrounds whose families could not afford private school tuition, by making available a limited number of partial or full scholarships. There was to be no relaxation of academic standards. Successful candidates had to fulfill the school’s admissions requirements and provide proof of financial need. Although the program has steadily developed since then, and is now well established, we want to do more. To date, twenty-six students from twelve countries (Brazil, Cambodia, Denmark, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, and Ukraine) have qualified for assistance. Our goal is to be able to offer scholarship aid to an even greater number of qualified applicants. In order to do that, we must replenish the fund annually. We are extremely pleased with the result of this year’s campaign and thank the many individuals (parents, alumni, and friends), corporations, and foundations who have helped support the program through donations and gifts to, and enthusiastic participation in, such fundraising efforts as the annual Walkathon
36 ... Nishimachi Annual Report 2018
(held in November) and the annual golf tournament (in May). During the 2017-2018 school year, the school received 11 million yen designated for the Outreach Scholarship fund and provided 15.2 million yen in scholarship grants to eight worthy students. We owe this extraordinary achievement to the generous support of all of the constituents mentioned in the following pages (215 donations in all). The school has seen how scholarship recipients and the community alike benefit from the program in the significant contribution these students make to the overall educational environment and to Nishimachi’s core mission of “fostering sensitivity to, and respect for, individual talents as well as differences.” We ask you to continue to be generous in supporting this important Nishimachi program. Should you require further information, please contact the Nishimachi Development Office.

Kristy Topham President Tomo no Kai
he Tomo no Kai (TNK) community grows stronger and more cohesive every year, and 2017-2018 was no exception. As our children prepared to be global citizens of the year 2030, TNK continued to fulfill its mission to enhance communication between the parents and the school, to support educational programs and infrastructure, to create a sense of unity within the Nishimachi community, and to promote social functions that enrich the quality of the school and those concerned with it. TNK had an extraordinarily busy year living up to its mission. All of the volunteers on TNK’s 17 parent-led committees were deeply committed to their work. Without these dedicated volunteers, whose work included organizing crosscultural activities for the students, coordinating education workshops for the parents, and planning appreciation events for the staff, TNK would not have been able to meet its obligation to the parent community and to the school. TNK is particularly proud of the launch of the New Families Program committee to connect families new to Nishimachi with current families. In advance of the 2017-2018 school year, the New Families Program connected 48 new families with children in grades one to nine with 44 current families. As part of this effort, TNK held the first annual back-toschool picnic on the day before school started, which approximately 50 families attended. The feedback from both new and current families about the New Families Program was overwhelmingly positive. TNK organizes two major fundraisers per year, both of which were incredibly successful in 2017-2018. The day of the annual food fair began with drizzly rain but soon turned sunny
40 ... Nishimachi Annual Report 2018
for this popular, community-building event. The food fair provides a unique opportunity for the school community and the community at large to come together for a day of sampling regional and ethnic cuisines as well as watching student performances, including taiko, cheerleading, and hula dancing. Seventeen food and drink booths and seven arts and crafts booths, as well as a raffle, contributed to the festive atmosphere and raised an incredible 6.3 million yen. Old Shanghai was the theme of the 38th annual TNK gala auction. The gala committee worked tirelessly to organize a memorable night at the Tokyo American Club, which included a professional Peking Opera performance. This glamorous event was attended by over 300 people representing the Nishimachi community, the board of directors, and alumni and friends from near and far. Thanks to the generosity of all of the attendees, TNK raised a staggering 10.4 million yen. All of this hard work permitted TNK to enhance the school experience of all students through its grant process. TNK takes this role seriously, and in 2017-2018 awarded approximately 7.5 million yen in grants, funding classroom furniture, busing and uniforms for Nishimachi sports teams, 3-D printers, space heaters, slacklines for the gymnasium, Sakura Medal reading books, document cameras, and a podcasting platform. Further, TNK made its annual contribution of one million yen to the Nishimachi Outreach Scholarship Program. I am deeply grateful to the parent volunteers who work so hard to achieve success for TNK in its mission. I am proud of TNK for all that it does for our students and families, as well as for the cooperative relationship that it has with the school. I look forward to another rewarding year in 2018-2019.

T
he board of Nishimachi-Kai plays an active role in the school community. We not only participate in various activities of the school, but also organize events of our own during the year. Nishimachi-Kai hosts the Nishimachi-Kai booths at Food Fair in October and the annual alumni BBQ in June. We welcome back a wide range of alumni from different generations and parts of the world to both events every year. No matter how long it has been since any of us attended Nishimachi, fond memories and the school spirit live on in the alumni community. It is not only the ardent alumni supporters who continue to return to the school, but also those alumni who have not been back to the school for decades. We express our sincere gratitude to the following donors whose generous support made this year’s events possible:
Nancy Hashima Chairperson Nishimachi-Kai
Through our activities, we not only unite the members of Nishimachi-Kai (alumni, parents of alumni, former staff, and friends of Nishimachi), but also try to strengthen our communication with the current community to pass on the distinct values and traditions that have made Nishimachi International School a truly unique and reputable educational institution. The Nishimachi-Kai board knew the founder in person and experienced first-hand the international education she envisioned. Miss Matsukata’s foresight to develop true global ambassadors in a diverse but familial environment has put Nishimachi in the forefront of international education. We wish that the current students obtain the kind of special experience and education we received.

WAYS TO GIVE, WAYS TO GROW
In How to Make a Contribution
vestment in Nishimachi is not simply an investment in today’s children; it is an investment in a school that will serve many children in the years to come. Nishimachi has been providing a quality education for international children for over 60 years. It is incumbent upon those of us who have benefited in the past and those who are benefiting now from this fine educational experience to ensure that it will be available to others in the future. We have provided information about the many ways you can support Nishimachi. Be assured that no gift is too small. Your single yen/dollar is equally recognized and appreciated. A gift from a family, when added to that of another, will make a larger contribution. You will aid Nishimachi immensely by participating and encouraging others to do so. Nishimachi welcomes gifts by bank transfer or check in Japanese yen and U.S. dollars. If you have already given, we thank you. If you have not, please, let us hear from you soon! Please contact the development office for details.
