SACBC Japanese Language School
Parent Co-op. Affordable. Not-For-Profit.
The Southern Alameda County Buddhist Church (SACBC) Japanese Language School (JLS) is a non-denominational, not-for-profit Japanese language school for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Formed in 1964, the school is one of the oldest Japanese language schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
SACBC JLS offers high school foreign language credit for FUSD students only.

サンフランシスコ・ベイエリアで最も古い日本語学校の一つです。ま
た、高校の語学単位取得が認定された数少ない日本語学校の一つです
(フリーモント学区の生徒に限ります)。
SACBC JLS operates as a co-operative or co-op, meaning that we rely on our families to run the school. This helps to ensure that the school can offer a high quality education and keep tuitions affordable. What it also means is that you have a say in how the school operates through participation as an officer on the school's Board of Directors and in your student's education by helping with the school's various events. It’s a great way to meet other parents and to get involved in your student’s education.

Courses and Classes
For Students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade. At this time, SACBC JLS does not offer Japanese language courses for adults.
JLS offers two Japanese language course tracks: Bilingual and Japanese. Both are taught in traditional in-the-class room settings.
Bilingual courses, also known as our "B" courses, for students who do speak Japanese at home.
Japanese courses, also known as our "J" courses, for students who do not speak Japanese at home.
In addition to Japanese language courses, the school offers a range of cultural experiences as well, including our annual Undokai (children's sports day), Mochitsuki (New Year's culinary tradition), and summer Bazaar celebrating Japanese culture, games, and food.
対象:幼稚園生~高校生
(大人の日本語コースは提供しておりません)
当学園ではバイリンガルコースと日本語コースの二つのコースを提供しています。どちらのコースも少人数のクラスで行われます。
“B”コースと呼ばれるバイリンガルコースは、ご家庭で日本語を話されているお子様向けのコースです。
“J”コースと呼ばれる日本語コースは、ご家庭の言語が日本語以外のお子様のコースです。
語学コースに加え当学園では、運動会、新年の餅つき、夏祭りなど、
日本のゲーム、食べ物、文化を楽しく体験できる様々なイベントを行

Bilingual Courses
SACBC JLS' bilingual courses, also known as our "B" courses, are for students who speak Japanese at home. The school currently offers four bilingual courses, dependent upon a student’s language proficiency, beginning from our introductory B1 classes through advanced B4 classes. Student placement is dependent upon teacher's assessment. We believe that students learn better when they are in classes with their peers. As such, teachers may recommend that older students take supplementary courses so that they can advance to classes with students of similar ages.
