The Hong Kong Japanese School and Japanese International School (HKJS&JIS) is a Japanese international school in Hong Kong. It consists of a Japanese section and international section. The Hong Kong Japanese School Limited operates the school system. [1]
The Japanese primary and secondary school sections are in a campus located along Blue Pool Road,in Happy Valley. [2] The international school is in Tai Po. The Tai Po campus opened in 1997. [3] The Japanese secondary school was previously located in Braemar Hill,North Point. [4]

[9]
A school for Japanese children opened in 1946,with eight people employed to teach. South China Morning Post stated the initial enrollment was 70. [10]
According to the HKJS website,it was established in May 1966 (Showa 41), [11] and opened on 10 May of that year. According to Vivienne Poy,her father,Richard Charles Lee,helped facilitate the establishment of the school. It opened because the government of Japan dedicated a subsidiary budget for it. The initial enrollment was 70, [12] and the initial principal was Ichiro Fujita (藤田一郎 [13] ,Fujita Ichirō). [12]
The initial location was floors two and three of Tower Court [12] (崇明大廈). [14] Its official opening ceremony was on 15 October. At the time it covered only primary grades,and its enrollment was 84. [15] Additional space in the Ling Ying Building (嶺英商場 [14] ) was used, [16] beginning in April 1971,for kindergarten and primary school classes. [17] The current Japanese section elementary campus opened on 24 January 1976. On 23 October 1982 the Japanese section junior high campus opened. [16]
Beginning circa 1994 the school engaged in exchange programmes with Hong Kong schools for children from Hong Kong and with other international schools in Hong Kong and Macau. [18]
In 1996 protesters against Japanese claims on the Senkaku Islands/Diaoyu Islands did activities outside of the Happy Valley school,as part of the Senkaku Islands dispute. Principal Akihiro Kaku argued that the consulate general would have been a more appropriate protest area,not the school. [19] The Hong Kong Post characterized the incident as an attack against the school. [20]
In 1994 the school system asked the Hong Kong government for permission to build a new school for an international section. [10] The international school in Tai Po opened in 1997. The funds used to build the campus came from a grant issued by the Hong Kong government. [21]
In April 2018 the junior high school moved to the Happy Valley campus. [22]
The Japanese division uses the Japanese school calendar and curriculum while the English-medium international division uses Hong Kong's school calendar. The international division has students who will reside in Hong Kong and/or otherwise reside outside of Japan in the long run. [23]
