Chicago Futabakai Japanese School in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is a Japanese government-approved overseas educational facility administered by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Chicago (JCCC). The school follows a Japanese Curriculum and operates two parallel programs: a Day School and a Japanese Saturday School, collectively known as the Chicago method. These programs educate children of JCCC member employees living in the United States and are funded by the Japanese government, Japan Overseas Educational Services, and other charitable organizations. The aim is to provide Japanese education for students abroad and to develop individuals who can contribute globally. Sumire Kindergarten is part of the Futabakai offerings, extending the program to early childhood. The Day School opened in 1978, and since 1998 the facilities have been based in Arlington Heights after moves to Skokie and Niles. The arrangement preserves a continuous Japanese schooling pathway for families residing outside Japan.
