St. Louis Japanese School, Japanese educational program at Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri.
St. Louis Japanese School is a weekend program at Webster University that teaches Japanese language, mathematics, and other subjects to students of different levels. Classes follow the Japanese academic calendar and combine language instruction with cultural education.
The school was founded in 1978 as a small program at Washington University with just a handful of students. It moved to Webster University in 1999 to accommodate its growing enrollment.
The school hosts Japanese festivals and seasonal celebrations where students experience traditional customs firsthand. These events bring Japanese culture into daily school life and help students connect with their heritage.
Classes meet on Saturdays throughout the academic year, with schedules varying by season. It helps to contact the school ahead of time to confirm exact session dates and enrollment procedures.
The program follows the Japanese school calendar rather than the American one, starting in April and ending in March. This approach gives the program an authentic structure that mirrors how education actually works in Japan.
