Japanese School in Bucharest

The Japanese School in Bucharest (ブカレスト日本人学校, Bukaresuto Nihonjin Gakkō, Romanian: Şcoala Japoneză din Bucureşti) is a Japanese international school in Voluntari, Ilfov County, Romania, near Bucharest.^[1] Previously it was located in Bucharest proper.^[2] The school is affiliated with the Embassy of Japan in Bucharest.

History

In December 1975 the Japanese community of Bucharest requested that a Japanese school open in their community. In 1977 the Japanese government granted this licence.^[3]

The school opened in 1979.^[4] The school receives funds from tuition and the Japanese government. As of 2005 the monthly school fee was 270 euros.^[5] In order for a student to be eligible to attend, he/she has to speak Japanese.^[4]

Student body

In 1986 there were 32 students. As of 2005 the school had 21 students.^[5] In 2006 there were 20 students, with a class average of 3 per class.^[6]

The parents of students tend to be company employees, Japanese restaurant owners, diplomats, and teachers. After the 9th grade students tend to study in international schools in Romania or travel outside of Romania to get a high school education. Minoru Nishida, the school's director, stated in 2005 that the student body fluctuated depending on business opportunities in Romania; in 1986 there was an influx of Japanese businesspeople in Romania and therefore the student body had increased.^[5]

Recreation

This school holds an autumn festival.^[7]

Shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu are overseas branches of Japanese schools; these are boarding and day schools and the only Japanese educational schools in Europe which provide sixth form/senior high school level education. Nihonjin gakkō are day schools operated by Japanese associations and only include primary and junior high school levels.
MEXT categorizes Japanese sections of European international schools as hoshū jugyō kō part-time schools and not as full-time schools. See the template for part-time schools.
