“The mission of the Seattle Japanese Language School is to give instruction in the Japanese language augmented by the introduction of culture and history of Japan and to enhance the learning process.”
Japanese Language School Classes
The SJLS is the oldest operating Japanese language school in the continental United States with over one hundred years of history. First founded in 1902, the SJLS has grown with the community, changing and adapting to meet community needs, yet staying true to its mission of providing Japanese language and cultural education.
The SJLS offers both youth and adult classes. Classes are currently being held online via Zoom. Online classes are small and personal to facilitate better learning!
