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.

Leadership
- Emerson Keung Head of School
I am delighted to accept the appointment as MIST’s Head of School, following in the footsteps and traditions of those who have gone before me.
MIST is a Cambridge International registered K-12 integrated school from 3 year-old kindergarten to high school. This is MIST’s 21st year of school.
By way of personal introduction, I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but raised in Mississauga, Canada by Chinese parents. I grew up amidst several cultures. After earning my Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education in Canada, I began my international education journey in Papua New Guinea where I held various teaching and administrative positions for 9 years. I completed my Master of Education in Papua New Guinea and my Doctor of Education in Hong Kong after which I worked at an international school in Hong Kong for 8 years.
I believe that every child can succeed, given the support, encouragement, and understanding they need. Every student should have the opportunity to discover and nurture their innate gifts and potential.
Looking forward to a wonderful school year as we continue to build upon the past while envisioning a bright future together.
