Japanese school in Ho Chi Minh City

CONCEPT

Japanese School of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry attached to the Consulate-General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City, which was established in 1997. As of 2016, with the rapid growth of the Vietnamese economy and new investment by Japanese companies, the total number of students at the school, including elementary and junior high school students, exceeded 500. The school building has already been extended since its establishment, but at the same time, in response to changes in the Japanese education system, the new school building was planned to follow Japanese school development standards, including the area of the school building, so that local Japanese students can have the same classroom environment as in Japan.
