About
The Japanese School in Seoul opened in 1972 for children of Japanese families living in and around Seoul, and is located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu. It is run by the Seoul Japan Club (SJC) and has kindergarten, elementary and junior high divisions. Teaching is in Japanese and follows the Japanese Ministry of Education guidelines. Admission is in principle for Japanese nationals whose parents are posted to Korea. There is no school lunch, so pupils bring a packed lunch, and graduating does not by itself give the right to enter a Korean middle or high school.
