What you need to know
A parent-founded Japanese school that fits around local school.
- Aimed at heritage speakers: a parent speaks Japanese at home
- Slower pace than in Japan, so it sits alongside local homework
- Recognized by the canton as an HSK course, in local school classrooms
- Many reach JLPT N2 by their ninth year, without exam drilling
About
A parent-founded school, running since 1985, for children who speak Japanese at home. Preschoolers learn through songs, picture-book readings, origami and crafts. From first grade, kids work through hiragana, katakana and kanji, then Japanese school textbooks, news and stories, with homework. Seasonal Japanese events and customs are part of the year. Led in Japanese, it suits kids with a Japanese-speaking parent, not beginners.
