About this school
The Japanese School Singapore is an overseas Japanese school teaching in Japanese and following the curriculum guidelines of Japan's Ministry of Education. Its roots go back to a Japanese primary school opened on Middle Road in 1912; the post-war school opened in September 1966 with 27 pupils and was recognised by the Singapore government as a private school. Since 1998 it has run three campuses: primary schools in Clementi and Changi, each serving its own catchment area, and a secondary (junior high) school on West Coast Road.
Alongside the Japanese curriculum, the school stresses English through native-speaker teachers and immersion activities, ICT-based learning, and exchanges with local Singapore schools.
The Clementi campus in western Singapore has been in use since 1976, when the school moved into new buildings on Clementi Road, and today serves as the primary school for families in the western catchment. The school describes it as a well-connected campus with long-established buildings; it has a gymnasium, a pool and a library, all renovated in recent years.
