About
Busan Japanese School is a small combined elementary and junior high school founded in 1975 by the Busan Japanese Association. It is licensed by both the Japanese and Korean governments and has elementary grades 1-6 and junior high grades 1-3. Teaching is in Japanese and follows the Japanese Ministry of Education guidelines, with separate Korean and English conversation classes. The school sits near Gwangalli beach in Suyeong-gu and is known for mixed-age group activities and exchanges with Korean schools. There is no school lunch, so pupils bring a packed lunch, and students are expected to use the school bus.
