Please help our school!

Since opening in 1982, Japanese School of Denver has provided immersive Japanese language education for students from K through 9 to prepare students for active roles in the global labor force. Currently, under the leadership of a principal from Japan’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, about 100 students are engaged in a curriculum that includes Japanese traditions and cultural events.

Despite support from the Japanese government and the Japanese Business Association of the Rocky Mountains, our student enrollment has significantly declined due to prolonged online classes during the pandemic. This drop has heavily impacted our finances, as tuition fees are our primary funding source. We are actively working to maximize our budget by reducing costs, including travel and overtime. While enrollment has rebounded, thanks to our promotional efforts, we still face challenges in restoring our pre-pandemic financial stability.

Additionally, rising costs in the U.S. have led to increased rent and operational expenses, further straining our resources. In light of these challenges, we seek the continued understanding and support of our parents, alumni, and the broader community to ensure the future of our school. We appreciate your financial contributions as we work toward sustaining our mission.
