WHO WE ARE
J’s English School is a family school located in Obu, a quiet town in the Nagoya suburbs. The school has recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and is very proud of its bond with the local community. Parents of the kids attending our classes become friends, and often enroll too. Having two or sometimes three siblings attend J’s classes is also common. The school wants to maintain this friendly, positive, family-like environment, but is also looking forward to growing with the times and bringing the latest teaching methodologies and technology into its classrooms.
