About this school
Taichung Japanese School is an overseas school for Japanese families in central Taiwan. Local Japanese residents began planning a school in 1975, a supplementary Japanese school opened in 1976, and the school formally opened on 22 April 1977 as a branch of Taipei Japanese School, with six pupils. It became an independent school in 1980 and is registered in Taiwan as a private school for Japanese nationals.
After the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake damaged its former buildings in Taiping, the school rebuilt on a new site in Daya District, moving first into temporary classrooms and then into the new school building. An all-weather 200 m track and grass field were added later. The school celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2017.
The school teaches the Japanese national curriculum in Japanese to elementary (Grades 1-6) and junior high (Grades 1-3) pupils, with one class per grade plus a support class. In May 2026 it had 112 pupils and a staff of 26, including 17 teachers. Its educational goal is to raise healthy children with the ability to live well and an international outlook.
