Amherst Japanese Language School is a school in Western Massachusetts for all children who want to learn Japanese. We have a small class system, and we provide education that values each individual.
Every Saturday morning, kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and JSL (Japanese as a Second Language) students study Japanese at our school in South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA. In 2023, only some classes will be held online.
We also focus on events so that children can experience Japanese culture and events. In addition to studying textbooks, we place importance on creating an environment where students can enjoy learning Japanese in a lively manner, and create opportunities for them to become interested in Japanese culture and traditions.
We are always looking for kindergarteners and students to study with us. Please fill out the below form if you would like to visit our school or learn more about the free trial class. (Currently there is a waitlist for JSL class.) https://forms.gle/ncwAbGVUnfv9Z5MRA

在校生の声
“The AJLS has not only been an incredible way to learn about the Japanese language (reading, writing and speaking) but also about Japanese culture through new connections and community events. My class moves at a pace that challenges me but is also very manageable, and I’ve learned so much over a short period of time. It has been an amazing way to connect with my grandmother and other Japanese friends and family members!”
