Originally founded in 1983 as Yaei East (弥栄東)and Yaei West(弥栄西), the two schools merged in 2008. It was merged as part of the "Kanagawa 100 New High Schools" plan.

Yaei East and West

Yaei High School established in 1983 as two separate schools: Yaei East, and Yaei West High School. At the time, they were known as "Twin Schools" The schools were located on the same campus, and both used the same sports ground, library and other facilities. However, the schools were different as they had classrooms on separate ends of the campus, staff and administration were separated and they both had their own gymnasium. Both schools shared very similar uniforms and emblems and both offered a general course of study to their students however, Yaei West specialized in P.E and Foreign Languages, while Yaei East specialised in Music and Arts. Both schools were co-educational and had enrollments over 500.

Yaei High School

Also known as A.S.I.S, Yaei High School was formed in 2008. The new school specializes in four areas: Arts, Sports Science, International studies and Science and Maths, hence why the school is informally known as A.S.I.S. Since the merge, academic standards rose dramatically and Yaei High School has become one of the top schools in Sagamihara. The uniform has slightly changed from the former Yaei East and West uniforms, but remains very much the same design.
