Aoba-Japan International School was initially founded as Aoba International School (AIS) in 1976 by Regina M. Doi in the Meguro area of central Tokyo. Shortly after being founded, the school moved to a site adjacent to Saigoyama Park. A second campus was established near Daikanyama Station in 1979 under the name Japan International School (JIS). This campus included an elementary and middle school. Due to increasing enrollment, A-JIS moved to Harajuku in 1980, Suginami in 1991, and to its present location in Hikarigaoka in 2012.
In 2014 Aoba Japan International School was acquired by Business Breakthrough (BBT). It embarked on a mission to become an internationally recognized provider of K-12 international education. It has since grown to include 5 Tokyo based schools: A-JIS (Hikarigaoka and Meguro), JCQ, Rainbow International School, Summer Hill International School, and Waseda International School.
