New Jersey Japanese School
The New Jersey Japanese School (ニュージャージー日本人学校 Nyūjājī Nihonjin Gakkō?, NJJS) is a Japanese school located in Oakland, New Jersey, United States in the New York City metropolitan area.[1] It is one of the two Japanese day schools operated by the Japanese Educational Institute of New York (JEI; ニューヨーク日本人教育審議会 Nyūyōku Nihonjin Kyōiku Shingi Kai), a nonprofit organization which also operates two Japanese weekend school systems in the New York City area.[2]
The school's students are Japanese expatriates. The goal of the school is to prepare them for the Japanese educational system when the students eventually return to Japan.[3]
History
The Japanese School of New York established a branch campus in New Jersey on April 1, 1992, with grades one through four. On April 1, 1999, the branch campus became its own school, The New Jersey Japanese School.[4]

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies Keio Academy of New York, Nishiyamato Academy, and Seigakuin Atlanta, in addition to the former Tennessee Meiji Gakuin, as shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools). The Greenwich, New Jersey, Chicago, and Guam schools are classified by MEXT as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. Italicized schools, including the Lyceum Kennedy, Sundai Michigan, and International Bilingual School (as of 2000), are/were not recognized as Japanese schools by MEXT.
