The Japanese School of Amsterdam offers the Japanese Curriculum for students in elementary and middle school. Located in the western part of Amsterdam between Rembrandtpark and Sloterplas lake, the campus provides easy access to natural surroundings for environmental study. Instruction is primarily in Japanese, but students begin learning English and Dutch in the first grade to help them navigate their host country. The school maintains traditional Japanese customs, hosting annual events like the Kakizome (New Year’s calligraphy) and Mochitsuki (rice-pounding) festivals. Alongside standard academic subjects, students participate in specific cultural exchange programs with local Dutch institutions, such as Merkelbach School and Oudvaart School. Field trips to cheese farms, windmill museums, and local industries are integrated into the curriculum, allowing students to learn about Dutch society. A dedicated school bus service is available, ensuring safe transport for students living across the greater Amsterdam area.
