At the start of this month, students in Middle School and upper Elementary School were treated to a sensational performance by one of Saint Maur's Music teachers, Christina Foster. This event was part of our Concert & Lecture series and featured a wide variety of violin music in a huge range of contrasting styles.
Last weekend, Saint Maur proudly hosted the inaugural KPASS Dance Festival. We welcomed approximately 100 students from seven international schools in Yokohama and Tokyo, including The American School in Japan, Aoba Japan International School, International School of Sacred Heart, Malvern College Tokyo and Seisen.
Before the Spring vacation, Saint Maur was delighted to once again host a joint Jazz Big Band Concert with Tokyo College of Music. This is the third time that the jazz ensembles have collaborated and once again students learnt a great deal from this inspiring experience.
We are excited to share a glimpse into the vibrant and creative world of our Middle School as we recap the spectacular drama play that unfolded last week Friday.
On Friday, Saint Maur hosted the KPASS Jazz Festival. International schools from all across the Kanto region came to our auditorium to perform with Big Bands and Combos.

Saint Maur International School successfully hosted the annual KPASS Speech Contest for the second year in a row. Congratulations to all our students who participated and helped run this significant event, hosting 8 international schools!

On Saturday, September 16th, Saint Maur International School proudly hosted the annual KPASS (Kanto Plain Association Of Secondary Schools) High School Drama Festival.
Last week 108 students, of all ages, from Grade 1-12, took part in Trinity Music examinations. These academic qualifications are an internationally recognised measurement of ability on an instrument and are assessed by the prestigious London conservatoire, Trinity College.
On May 11th, the Combined 7th & 8th Grade Band performed at the KPASS Middle School Band Festival, which was held for the first time since 2019. This was the first time for these students to perform at this event, held at Yokosuka Naval Base and featuring performances by schools from the Tokyo and Yokohama area. “It was nice to listen to the band music that students in other schools prepared for the KPASS Band Festival,” said one grade 8 student.
These past weeks have been inspiring for our ambitious music students at Saint Maur International School.
