INTRODUCTION

Dear ASIJ Community, When I look back at my first year at ASIJ through the lens of this Annual Report, I am delighted at our progress and consider myself very fortunate to be part of this community. In these pages, you’ll find evidence of the vibrant and engaged students, faculty and parents who are members of this community. You’ll also appreciate the myriad learning opportunities central to a student’s experience at ASIJ. My first year at school focused on getting to know the community, visiting classrooms, and learning ASIJ’s many traditions. What I would tell you is that we have remarkably dedicated and caring teachers; polite, hardworking and achievement-driven students; and parents who care and reinforce the value and importance of education. ASIJ retains a great reputation, locally and internationally, and most members of our community report great pride in being associated with ASIJ. Our community shines brightly during games, concerts, performances and special events such as Spirit Day and Winterfest. It -6-

2017–2018

is, as I say in the first paragraph, a privilege to serve as ASIJ’s head of school.

Last year was also a turning point for ASIJ. During the fall we began a year-long strategic design process that clarified our institutional values, renewed our mission, and identified what makes an ASIJ education exceptional when we are at our very best. We attempted to honor ASIJ’s past and the fond memories so many alumni, parents, and faculty members have of the school, while also ensuring that our design was future-focused and attentive to the skills and dispositions students need to excel in the world today.

That work culminated in the development of our new Commitment, Mission and Core Values, which we explain in further detail on page 4–5.

We also had two transitions in school leadership. Rick Weinland, our long-serving HS principal, made the decision to leave ASIJ after 12 years to take up his first headship at an international school in Puerto Rico. After receiving more than a hundred

applications, Jon Herzenberg was selected to succeed Mr Weinland. Dr Herzenberg brings a wealth of experience from his years in the independent school market of the Bay Area, where he was associate head of school at the Drew School in San Francisco.

Our second leadership team member to announce his departure was our director of teaching and learning, Mr Paul O’Neill.

After a rigorous interview process that included many members of the community, Scott Wilcox was chosen to become ASIJ’s deputy head of school for learning, beginning in August 2019. Mr Wilcox currently lives and works in Rochester, New York and has worked both in the United States and internationally in his career and has held a variety of leadership positions across all divisions.

With warm regards, Jim Hardin Head of School

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD Dear ASIJ Community, The Board of Directors began the 2017–18 school year by welcoming incoming head of school, Dr Jim Hardin, and 19 faculty to ASIJ. Board members had the opportunity to get to know Jim better at our September board retreat, where we outlined our work for the coming year and began preparations to launch a strategic design process. Marc Frankel, who is a senior consultant with Triangle Associates, an international firm specializing in higher, independent and international education, facilitated the retreat and provided us with guidance.

During the fall the Board participated in the development of ASIJ’s Strategic Design Framework, guided by Greenwich Leadership Partners, who helped steward the process with the head of school.

The process allowed us to reaffirm some important aspects of our school identity, while also providing the opportunity to reflect and discuss future aspirations for ASIJ. The result of this meaningful work can be seen in the new commitment, mission, values and strategic priorities that are outlined on pages 4–5.

With the Strategic Design Framework in place, we are now able to actively embark on a new facilities master plan to replace some of our older buildings, ensuring that our future facilities align with our strategic goals. We began discussions on how we will approach that need and how we will increase our capital reserves and fundraising to allow us to achieve the outcome of our future master plan.

A continued focus for the Board and the school is our commitment to safeguarding— which was designated as one of ASIJ’s strategic design priorities. The safeguarding committee will continued to work towards our level 2 certification from Keeping Children Safe. The Board and the School continue to stand at the ready to support any members of the ASIJ community who come forward with a disclosure.

Towards the end of the year there were transitions on the Board and I would like to thank our outgoing members Anush Balian, Daniel DiCicco, Yasu Mori, Matt McGuire and Susan Kawada for their service. Much of the work of the Board takes place out of view of the community, but I would like to recognize the countless hours that our Board and others give selflessly for the good of our school. Without their—and your support—ASIJ would not be the school that it is.

The Board and I look forward to continuing to serve you in support of ASIJ’s mission of “fostering a community of inquisitive learners and independent thinkers, inspired to be their best selves, empowered to make a difference.”

Bob Noddin Chair, ASIJ Board of Directors and Board of Trustees

PTA The ELC and Chofu PTAs work together to enhance and enrich the educational experience at ASIJ. Through the hard work of parent volunteers, both PTAs were able to make many enhancements during the 2017– 18 school year. These included grants for new spin bikes for the fitness center, Project Voice residency in the Middle School, Space Club’s first conference, Japanese books for our libraries, and funding for cultural activities and enrichment at the ELC such as taiko and a sumo wrestler visit. Throughout the year the PTAs also provided numerous parent education opportunities through divisional Parent Groups at both ELC and Chofu.

The school year kicked off with events that brought together our community.

The Chofu PTA Welcome Coffee at Tokyo American Club had a record turnout and a series of grade-level welcome coffees at the ELC gave the opportunity for people to reconnect after the summer and greet newcomers to the school. The whole school also came together on October 30 for Spirit Day on the Chofu campus to support our athletes, and cheer on the volleyball, tennis and Varsity football teams. Organized by the Chofu PTA Booster Committee, the day also provided student service groups an opportunity to raise funds for their causes.

145 Spirit Day

On December 2, the PTAs held Winterfest, our largest community-wide event, on the Chofu campus. The event was a great day featuring international food booths, an international bazaar, student performances, games, a Santa booth and many other activities. The major PTA fundraiser of the year, Winterfest raised over ¥14 million.

In addition to joint events, the PTAs work together with the Admissions team to help transition new families to ASIJ. Volunteers are often the first face of ASIJ and our dynamic school community, and these volunteers are an important resource as they provide tremendous support to incoming families. Over 720 volunteers supported the PTAs’ major events. Without their generous gifts of time and talent, the PTAs would not be successful.

During the year, discussions began about merging the Chofu and ELC PTAs into an all-school PTA. To begin that process, a unification committee was formed with representatives from both groups and a timeline of merging for the 2019–20 school year was agreed on.

The student population includes families from over 50 countries, a level consistent for the past two years. This diversity is complemented by a quarter of the students with both a US and Japan passport (25%). Long term connections to Japan are a contributor factor to the slight increase in the students returning each year.

872

With the attractive offerings of the school’s curriculum and facilities, Japanese families returning home from the US or other international school experiences are attracted to joining ASIJ. Japan-only passport holding students are consistent at 17% in each of the last two years.

845

The largest group of students is still US passport holders (33%), and the size of this group has been consistent over the past few years.

The elementary school program is growing in size, particularly in the upper grades where additional classes were added in grades 4 and 5. To support additional growth in this division, the EAL program now has two full-time teachers with one dedicated to the lower grades and one to upper elementary.

Each of the divisions is experiencing maximum enrollment in some of the grades and overall trends towards growth which will soon reach maximum enrollment across the Chofu campus.

A positive trend in enrollment has continued at ASIJ over the past three years. In August 2017, we opened with 1,665 students—a modest gain from 1,619 at the start of the previous school year. August 2018 brought enrollment to 1,717 and little growth is expected throughout the year as we are at capacity in many grades.

During the 2017–2018 school year ASIJ had over 70 alumni visitors, and the Advancement Office facilitated 12 class reunions and get-togethers all over the globe. Events took place as nearby as Tokyo and spanned to as far as Hong Kong, California, Connecticut and New York.

One of our biggest events was the New York Community Reception where over 200 stateside alumni, former parents and former faculty/staff had their first chance to meet the new head of school, Jim Hardin and his wife Marti, catch up with old friends, make new friends and reminisce. Alumni from class years in the mid-1950s through 2014 attended the reception, as did long-serving former faculty member Thurman Dennis (Elementary School 1962–93).

The Class of 1968 sponsored a “Golden Reunion” celebration in San Diego during Golden Week. Nick Connor ‘68 and Dave Sakamoto ‘68 planned over two full days of activities for the 112-strong contingent of ’66, ’67, ’68, ’69 and 70’s alumni and family members.

Head of School Jim Hardin and his wife Marti were in attendance, and activities included a luncheon cruise on Mission Bay, a beach BBQ and clam bake with a live band, and a dinner party aboard the beautiful William D Evans sternwheeler.

An outdoor reception at Liberty Station Stone Brewing Bistro and World Garden, welcomed alumni of all years as well as former staff members.

On Spirit Day 2017, members of the Class of ‘87 came together in Chofu for a fun day of activities that included sumo wrestling, sports and campus tours. Reunion organizer Robert Sharp ‘87 presented Jim Hardin, head of school, with a gift from the class of $7,700 towards the Strength and Courage Award.

In total, alumni contributed 194 gifts to the ASIJ Fund this past year, donating over ¥14,375,947. Of the alumni ASIJ Fund supporters, seven donors gave at the Courtyard Circle or higher in 2017–2018.

After relaunching The Ambassador magazine in 2016, we are delighted to announce the magazine won a Silver Summit Creative Award. Only 5% of the 5,000 entries from 26 counties won silver awards and The Ambassador was up against work from creative agencies, universities and the commercial sector.

The Tokyo Alumni Council also had an active year, participating in on-campus events such as Spirit Day and Winterfest as well as hosting their own bonenkai in December. They closed out the year with their annual Spring Dinner on May 11 at the Early Learning Center in Roppongi, where alumni enjoyed food and drinks while reconnecting with former classmates.

Supporters at this level and higher levels (1902 Society, Second Century Circle) are recognized on signs in the student courtyard and ELC lobby. Each successive ASIJ Fund year’s leadership supporters will be added to the sign.

Over the summer, ASIJ installed lights on three tennis courts so that students can play more home matches and schedule practices more conveniently during the winter. Thank you to the families who so generously
