Nishiyamato Academy: The Only Full-Time Japanese School on the West Coast
Nishiyamato Academy is a unique educational institution that offers full-time Japanese language and cultural education to students on the West Coast of the United States. As the only school of its kind in this region, Nishiyamato Academy has earned recognition from Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as an official "full-time Japanese school."
Founded in 1989 by a group of dedicated parents who wanted their children to receive a high-quality education in their native language and culture while living abroad, Nishiyamato Academy has grown into a thriving community of students, teachers, and families who share a passion for learning and cross-cultural exchange.
At Nishiyamato Academy, students receive instruction in all core academic subjects such as math, science, social studies and English Language Arts. However what sets us apart is our focus on teaching Japanese language skills along with traditional cultural practices such as calligraphy or tea ceremony. Our curriculum is designed to help students develop fluency in both spoken and written Japanese while also gaining an appreciation for Japan's rich history and traditions.
Our faculty consists of highly qualified educators who are passionate about teaching Japanese language skills to non-native speakers. They have years of experience working with international students from diverse backgrounds which allows them to create engaging lessons that cater to each student’s individual needs.
In addition to our rigorous academic program we offer extracurricular activities such as sports teams or clubs where students can explore their interests outside the classroom. We also organize field trips throughout California so that our students can experience firsthand some aspects of American culture while still maintaining their connection with Japan.
One thing that sets us apart from other schools is our commitment towards creating an inclusive environment where every student feels valued regardless of their background or abilities. We believe that diversity enriches everyone’s learning experience and we strive to create a welcoming community where students can thrive.
Our campus is located in the heart of Los Angeles, California which provides our students with access to a vibrant city full of cultural experiences. We are proud to be part of this diverse community and we believe that our location allows us to offer unique opportunities for our students.
In conclusion, Nishiyamato Academy is an exceptional educational institution that offers full-time Japanese language and cultural education on the West Coast. Our commitment towards creating an inclusive environment combined with our rigorous academic program makes us stand out from other schools. We are proud to be recognized by Japan's Ministry of Education as an official "full-time Japanese school" and we look forward to continuing our mission of providing high-quality education for future generations.
