History
The school opened on September 2, 1966. For over 30 years, the school did not have its own school building, but in April 2002, a new building was completed and the school moved. There was a time when the number of students in the elementary and junior high schools exceeded 50, but in the 2010s, it has been hovering around 10.[4]
Education
Because it is a Japanese school, the curriculum is based on the Japanese curriculum, but it also offers classes on English language education, Sri Lankan culture, and traditional Japanese culture.[5]
The school is particularly focused on international understanding education, and offers a wide range of classes such as local understanding, environmental education, culture, religion, and sports through International Activity classes.[6] In addition, a supplementary textbook titled "Our Sri Lanka" was compiled and used in social studies classes.[7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, online classes were held using Zoom.[8] With support from the Panasonic Education Foundation, classes were also conducted using one IPad per student.[9]
