The International School Japanese Track started in 1995. All of our teachers are native Japanese speakers and have extensive teaching experience in the US and Japan. They teach a full American curriculum entirely in the Japanese language and with the context of the Japanese culture. Because of our small classes, students receive a great deal of individual attention and develop into independent and disciplined learners.Our students are actively involved in Portland’s Japanese community, performing at the Japan Festival, the Mochitsuki Festival, and Children’s Day Festival. The Japanese Track program culminates with a fifth grade Capstone trip to a sister school in Japan. There, the children see that their Japanese language and cultural skills can truly open doors for them across the world.
The added beauty of The International School is that the children are also exposed to the Chinese and Spanish languages and cultures. As a result, our students not only feel at home in Japan, but also have a well-developed awareness of the world beyond.
