GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

As we reflect on the remarkable journey of CAJ over the past 75 years, we are reminded of the incredible faith and determination that laid the foundation for our school. In the fall of 1949, 30 missionary families gathered in Tokyo, sharing a common problem: How were their children going to receive an education? None of them were school teachers or had started a school before.

We’re excited to introduce a new way to stay connected with our community. We’re transitioning away from the Chronicle magazine in favor of seasonal email newsletters that will share updates and stories in a more concise, engaging format. In this inaugural edition, we celebrate CAJ’s 75th anniversary and reflect on the many ways where we continue to live out our mission.
