Teachers wanted! Learn in Japanese, just like in Japanese schools

Minato Gakuen San Diego Supplementary School: Established in April 1979 by the San Diego Japanese Language Education Promotion Association, the school is affectionately known as "Minato Gakuen." At its founding, it had only 39 students and 5 teachers.

one teacher dispatched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (the principal), 35 locally hired teachers, 3 administrative staff, and 2 nurses. All
students, teachers, and staff are energetic, friendly, and diligently continuing their studies.

In San Diego, students learn in Japanese, just like in Japanese schools.
Subjects include Japanese language, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Textbooks are the same as those used in Japanese schools.
The school has kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school levels.

Once a week, there is a special learning time dedicated to the Japanese language and culture.
