About this school
Christian Academy in Japan (CAJ) is a K-12 school established in 1950 to provide Christ-centred education for the children of evangelical missionaries. It continues that purpose while also serving other families who want a Christian education, and it celebrated its 75th anniversary recently. Teaching is in English and follows a North American curriculum, and the school has been accredited by WASC since 1976.
CAJ has about 450 students in its day school, around a third from missionary families and the rest from business and professional families. Students come from more than 25 countries, and many hold dual citizenship. The school is divided into elementary, middle and high school, with co-curricular activities and summer programmes. Through its Parallel Educational Services division, running since 1983, CAJ also supports more than 300 English-speaking homeschoolers in Japan with resources and programmes.
The four-acre campus in the western suburbs of Tokyo includes a 370-seat auditorium, a 25,000-volume library, a 450-seat gymnasium, a regulation turf soccer field, basketball and tennis courts, and a dining hall with hot lunches. Every student has a laptop or tablet.
