Hong Kong Japanese School (HKJS) was established in 1966 and today operates two campuses: the Hong Kong Campus in Happy Valley and the Japanese International School in Taipo. The Happy Valley campus serves elementary and junior high students through a curriculum approved by Japan’s Ministry of Education, ensuring continuity with schools in Japan. The Taipo campus houses the International Section, where children aged 4 to 11 follow the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) in English, with Japanese offered as an additional language. The Happy Valley site features facilities such as computer labs, a traditional Japanese tatami room, and a well-equipped lecture hall, while Taipo emphasizes inquiry-based IB learning. HKJS also runs a dedicated school bus network across Hong Kong, providing safe transport for students. Its unique combination of Japanese national education and IB curriculum options makes it an important institution for both Japanese expatriates and international families.
