Overview
Christian Academy in Japan (CAJ) is a K-12 school established in 1950 to provide Christ-centered education to the children of evangelical missionaries. While continuing in this purpose, CAJ also serves other families who desire this type of education for their children. We serve approximately 450 students in our day school program and more than 300 students in our Parallel Educational Services program. Our program uses English as the language of instruction and a North American curriculum.
Day School Students
The school serves a student body that is composed of the dependents of missionaries (35%) and dependents of business and professional people (65%). Our students come from over 25 countries with many holding dual citizenship.
Parallel Educational Services
A division of CAJ, Parallel has been meeting the needs of English-speaking homeschoolers in Japan since 1983 with consultancy, resources, and programs. Some Parallel families homeschool all subjects while others send their children to Japanese schools and supplement with English studies at home. Parallel also provides support for affiliated schools.
