Our school offers Saturday classes in Paramus （ Paramus ）, New Jersey.

We offer classes for Japanese and Japanese American children living in the New York and New Jersey area, focusing on Japanese language, math ・ and mathematics in accordance with the Japanese curriculum guidelines. Paramus Catholic High School, which is on loan on Saturdays, is surrounded by greenery and a rich natural setting with squirrels, rabbits, wild birds, and other animals, as well as maple and oak trees.

In this favorable educational environment, the faculty and staff welcome the children on Saturdays with smiles. The day's learning begins with a cheerful "Ohayo gozaimasu" greeting from both children and teachers. Children who attend the local school on weekdays and study in English are learning Japanese, math ・ and other subjects such as social studies and life science in Japanese with their friends whom they have not seen for a week.

In terms of events, in order for the children to have the same experience as in Japan, we hold the entrance and entrance ceremony, graduation ceremony, big field day, cultural festival, evacuation drill, hair brush experience, Tanabata Festival, study presentation, etc.

In particular, the Sports Festival (cancelled last year due to COVID-19) has become a major event where children, parents, teachers and staff work together to create and enjoy. At the middle and high school level, we offer （ and ） field trips to Bear Mountain, where students can strengthen bonds with their peers and create memories through mountain climbing. Through these classes and events, children are developing into globally minded individuals with a balance of intellectual ・ moral ・ and physical qualities.

Our school features

a wide range of education from the middle grades in the infant school to the second grade in the high school.

We also have an international class where students can learn Japanese language and culture as one class from elementary to high school without age limitation. With the basic premise of "Japanese education on Saturdays," we are committed to educating students to improve their academic skills in Japanese （ Japanese ） and math ・. Therefore, the use of English is prohibited in the school, except for children in international classes.

In consideration of the developmental stage of the children in the infant and first grade of the elementary school, one assistant is assigned to each class, and educational activities are conducted by two persons with the homeroom teacher.

In order to improve students' Japanese language skills, the middle and high schools have been conducting weekly kanji confirmation tests since last year. Thus, since the school concentrates on Japanese language study on Saturdays, we assign a lot of homework. We ask that families support their children's learning as a second class by checking homework assignments and helping them master kanji.
