History
Jeevarani Angelina, a native of Chennai and who is known as "Rani Sanku" established an English-training school, Little Angels English Academy, in 2002. The school has continued to grow since its inception, and the name was changed to Little Angles International School in 2006 as was consistent with the change to an International School. In 2014, Little Angels International School received full accreditation from Cambridge International offering courses through the A Levels. We joined the Aoba-Japan group in 2019. Subsequently, the new school management changed the name of the school to Musashi International School Tokyo in 2020, and has continued to evolve further.

Welcome to MIST!
I am honored to continue serving as MIST’s Head of School, building on the rich traditions established by those who have led before me and guiding our community into the future.
MIST is a Cambridge International registered K-12 integrated school, educating students from kindergarten through high school. As we enter our 22nd year, we are proud of the milestones we've achieved and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
By way of personal introduction, I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Mississauga, Canada, by Chinese parents. Growing up amidst several cultures shaped my deep appreciation for diversity and global perspectives. After earning my Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education in Canada, I embarked on an international education journey that took me to Papua New Guinea, where I held various teaching and administrative positions for 9 years. During this time, I also completed my Master of Education. Later, I pursued and earned my Doctor of Education in Hong Kong, where I spent 8 years working at an international school.
At MIST, we hold the belief that every child can succeed when provided with the right support, encouragement, and understanding. Every student deserves the opportunity to discover and nurture their unique gifts and potential. Our community is guided by the principle that "there is more than one path to the top of the mountain." This philosophy, along with our mission to develop the next generation of global leaders, drives us to foster an environment where curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration are at the forefront of learning.
As we step into this new school year, I am excited about the journey ahead and look forward to working together with our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and, most importantly, our talented students to make this year one of growth, achievement, and joy. My door is always open, and I warmly invite you to visit our school, engage with our community, and see firsthand the vibrant environment we are nurturing.
