Located in Caulfield South, The Japanese School of Melbourne is an independent school delivering Prep to Year 9 education under the Japanese national curriculum. Classes for all grades are taught by teachers dispatched from Japan's Ministry of Education (MEXT) and use Japanese textbooks aligned with 学習指導要領. English education is by Japanese and native-English teachers, with after‑school clubs New Comer Club for recent arrivals and English Club for proficient students. Prep education introduces literacy (hiragana, katakana, and the alphabet) and numeracy through play. The campus features a library of over 10,000 books in Japanese and English, computers for every student, televisions, and ICT tools such as LoiroNote and Canva. A science laboratory, a music room with koto and taiko, and a grass field for soccer, basketball and tennis support learning and activity. EAL runs three days weekly in English; cross‑cultural exchanges enrich language learning. Melko Day is an annual event. The school aims to cultivate solid academic capabilities within a Japanese framework while leveraging the local environment for practical language skills and global awareness.
