About this school
The Japanese Section of the Japanese International School (JIS) is an overseas Japanese school set up under the Japanese government's policy for the education of Japanese children abroad and, at the same time, a private school registered with the Hong Kong government. It is run by Hong Kong Japanese School Limited. From the 2026 school year, the former Hong Kong (Happy Valley) campus and the Tai Po campus were consolidated on the Tai Po site.
The section follows the Japanese national course of study, recognised by Japan's education ministry, and uses Japanese textbooks for elementary and junior high school students. English is taught in ability groups for at least five hours a week, with native-speaking teachers, and some subjects such as art and swimming are taught in English.
A Global Class for Years 4 to 6 adds maths and science immersion in English, inquiry-based Global Studies and a Student Action Project, and the school plans to extend Global Classes into junior high from 2027. The campus also hosts the English-medium International Section, which offers the IB Primary Years Programme.
