In
1977, a dream took root in Ajman. A small group of Japanese
families envisioned a place where their children could thrive, fostering a
spirit of community that led to the establishment of the Japanese Language:
"MODEC AJMAN JAPANESE SCHOOL."
Expanding
Horizons:
By
1979, with a desire to serve a wider community, we received permission from the
Dubai government to establish a formal school within Dubai itself. Our journey
began in Deira, Dubai, and in 1987, we moved to our current location in the
heart of Al Wasl.
A
Tradition of Excellence:
Over
four decades, the Dubai Japanese School (DJS) has had the privilege of
educating thousands of students. We cater to children of all backgrounds who
share a strong connection to Japanese education based on Japanese language and culture. This includes:
- Japanese Nationals: We provide a
supportive environment for children of Japanese nationality to continue
their academic journey and cultural connection.
- Children of Mixed
Japanese Heritage: DJS offers a welcoming space for children, with one
Japanese parent to further strengthen their language skills and cultural
identity.
- Children with Prior
Experience in Japan: We embrace children who were born and raised in
Japan and speak japanese, allowing them to seamlessly continue their learning journey in a
familiar environment.
A
Seamless Education under the Japanese Ministry of Education:
The
Japanese School in Dubai provides a nurturing environment for all our students.
We follow the esteemed Japanese education system, overseen by the Japanese
Ministry of Education (MEXT). MEXT provides the curriculum, dispatches
qualified teachers directly from Japan, and administers all major exams. This
ensures a smooth transition for your child's academic journey, whether they are
continuing from a Japanese school or integrating into the system for the first
time.
Dedicated
Faculty, Authentic Curriculum:
Our
passionate teachers, under agreement with MEXT, bring their expertise and the
latest curriculum directly from Japan. This ensures a high-quality educational
experience that prepares students for future academic endeavours in Japan.
More
