Keio Academy of New York, Private high school in Harrison, United States
Keio Academy of New York is a Japanese private high school in Harrison, New York, housed on a campus of 27 acres (11 hectares) with academic buildings, dormitories, and sports facilities. The campus includes specialized rooms for Japanese language, science, and arts, along with facilities for multiple sports year-round.
This school opened in 1990 as an overseas branch of Keio University to offer Japanese families abroad an option for secondary education. It received financial support to prepare students for eventual return to Japan and access to Japanese universities.
The curriculum follows a plan that combines Japanese and American educational systems, with most subjects taught in English. Japanese remains a required subject, so students actively use both languages and maintain their cultural roots.
Class sizes remain small, with about eight students per teacher, which makes personal attention and individual guidance easier. The school offers ten sports throughout the year, integrated into the schedule and helping students stay active.
This school holds dual accreditation from both the Japanese Ministry of Education and the State of New York, allowing graduates to be accepted at universities in either country. That lets students shape their further educational paths flexibly, depending on where they plan to live or study after graduation.
