Yasuo Eguchi

After completing his undergraduate and graduate studies in Japan, Yasuo continued his education at a graduate school in the United States. Experiencing a very different approach to teaching and learning there sparked a strong interest in education that encourages students not simply to receive knowledge, but to think independently, experiment, and deepen their own learning.

Since then, he has worked to create richer learning environments through both education and technology.

As Head of Technology at Yoyogi International School, Yasuo leads initiatives to integrate emerging technologies—including 3D printers, VR headsets, and programmable robots—into teaching and learning. His focus is not simply on introducing new technology, but on creating opportunities for students to learn through hands-on exploration, connect with people and expertise beyond the school, and develop the curiosity to ask, “Why?” and “What if I try this?”

Yasuo is also responsible for the school’s SEO and content strategy.

Families considering an international school often have questions about educational philosophy, the English-language environment, curriculum, future pathways, and everyday school life. His approach to content is therefore centered not only on what the school wants to communicate, but on providing clear, specific answers to what families genuinely want to know.

Drawing on his experience across education, technology, and digital marketing, Yasuo writes about international schools, education, and related topics with an emphasis on practical, accessible information.
