Founded in 1926, the Diablo Nippongo Gakuen (Japanese School) has a long tradition of teaching Japanese language and culture to school-aged children in the East Bay.
We have educated more than 1,000 students and currently hold six classes for children in kindergarten through 12th grade. In addition, classroom ready pre-K students are also accepted on a case-by-case basis. Classes are held on Saturdays from September through May from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
We are a cooperative school, run and managed by an all-volunteer board. Parent participation is essential to our continued vitality and success.
