Japanese School of New York

The Japanese School of New York , also known as The Greenwich Japanese School , is a Japanese elementary and junior high school, located in Greenwich, Connecticut, near New York City. As of 1992 the Ministry of Education of Japan funds the school, which is one of the two Japanese day schools of the Japanese Educational Institute of New York , a nonprofit organization which also operates two Japanese weekend schools in the New York City area. Before 1991 the Japanese School of New York was located in Queens, New York City, and for one year it was located in Yonkers, New York.

On April 25, 1975, a group of Japanese parents, under the Japanese Educational Institute of New York, founded the school. The school, which opened on September 2, 1975 in Queens, New York City, was New York City's first Japanese language day school. The school was established because several Japanese parents were concerned with their children's education in the U.S., and all parties at the school emphasized re-integration into the Japanese educational system when the students return to their home countries.
