Located just a short walk from Shibuya station is a place where art projects meet live music, and where creativity grows alongside self-confidence. Tokyo Creators Kids (TC Kids) was founded by artist Isaac Schulz with a mission to create a calm, supportive space where children don’t just lean into their creative side, they learn to be themselves. The school opened in August 2013 and has since grown organically within the Shibuya-Daikanyama community. For international families looking for a fun, friendly and English-speaking environment for their little ones, here is what you need to know about Tokyo Creators Kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Story Behind Tokyo Creators Kids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac\u2019s passion for art and education led him to establish TC Kids over 10 years ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Growing up inspired by North Carolina\u2019s nature and hailing from a family of artists himself, Isaac\u2019s practice is focused on tradition and art history. His work led him to Japan, where he first visited for an art show in Shibuya. A combination of Tokyo\u2019s energy and his passion for education led him to teach at international schools around the city before finally establishing TC Kids over 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At TC Kids, it\u2019s not about the results; it\u2019s about the creative process. Here, children are encouraged to explore, stay curious and express themselves. Compared to traditional art education, which follows a set structure and evaluation guidelines, Isaac and his team highlight the joy of creating and building confidence. “I give a demonstration of options,” Isaac explains. “I ask a lot of questions during that process. By the time they answer, their minds are already creating. When they move to their workspace, they aren’t starting from scratch; they are already working.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each project is inspired by combining art history, contemporary information and what the children enjoy making. Isaac then finds the intersection of all three and reintroduces it to his students. Building on this method keeps TC Kids growing and successful, as each batch of students is unique. According to Isaac, \u201cit keeps the culture of the school alive and fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All teachers at TC Kids have been introduced through word of mouth. Some even have their own kids enrolled at the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
