The New Jersey Japanese School (ニュージャージー日本人学校, Nyūjājī Nihonjin Gakkō, NJJS) is a private school, Japanese school located in Oakland, Bergen County, 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 primarily Japanese expatriates. It has 59 students in grades 1–9 as of August 2022[3] with a student-teacher ratio of 4 to 1[citation needed]. The goal of the school is to prepare them for the Japanese educational system when the students eventually return to Japan. It occupies space rented from the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. As of 2009[update] it had 90 students.[4]
