The Japanese School in London

The Japanese School in London is a full-time Japanese national curriculum school serving the Japanese expatriate community in London, founded in 1958. Located in Acton, west London, the school educates Japanese children from primary through junior high school following the Japanese Ministry of Education curriculum, with lessons conducted in Japanese. The school exists primarily to maintain Japanese language proficiency and cultural connection for children of families posted to London on temporary assignments. Graduates are fully equipped to return to the Japanese educational system seamlessly. English language instruction is also provided to support students' integration into London life. The school maintains strong links with the Japanese Embassy and the broader Japanese business community in London. With a warm, close-knit community of Japanese families, the school provides excellent social support networks alongside quality education. It is inspected by ISI and valued by Japanese multinationals and government agencies sending families to the UK.
