History
Waseda Shibuya Senior High School was founded in April 1991 as the Shibuya Makuhari Singapore School (渋谷幕張シンガポール校). The opening 10th-grade class included 50 Japanese students whose families lived in Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, and Thailand. At the time the school was affiliated with the Shibuya Kyouiku Gakuen (渋谷教育学園), the agency operating Makuhari Junior and Senior High School in Chiba, Chiba Prefecture. As of 1991 it was the only Japanese overseas boarding senior high school outside of the United States and Europe. Tetsuo Tamura (田村 哲夫 Tamura Tetsuo), who had served as the head of the Shibuya Kyouiku Gakuen, stated that he wished to establish an overseas Japanese school in Asia after learning about the sense of alienation from society many Japanese felt after returning from overseas. Tamura established a regional branch in Asia because he believed other Japanese international schools were too oriented to Europe and the United States.

The school first opened in a temporary facility for a local Japanese kindergarten. The Singaporean government leased 20000 sqm of land to the school on terms described by Toshio Iwasaki of the Journal of Japanese Trade & Industry as "very favorable". In mid-1991 the construction of the school buildings, athletic facilities, and dormitory facilities finished. In September 1991, the students moved into the permanent campus for the second semester of the school year.

In April 2002 the school became affiliated with Waseda University. The school was renamed as "Waseda Shibuya Senior High School" to reflect the change.
