About the event

How can leaders make change stick in Japan’s international schools?

From wellbeing, to supporting multilingual pathways, to the rise of AI, international schools in Japan have navigated shifting priorities with care and agility. The challenge now is connecting these efforts so they last.

Systems thinking offers a clear way forward: it helps leaders see how the parts of a school system fit together, uncover root causes, and design strategies that last.

Guiding the conversation are Dan Reynolds, Principal of Tokyo International School, and David Secomb, Elementary Principal at Yokohama International School. Both have been applying systems thinking in their schools, and share how this approach can inform leadership decisions.

Note: Both sessions will be available in English and Japanese.
