Introduction

Dubai Japanese School is located in Al Wasl, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and delivers a Japanese Curriculum for students. The school traces its roots to MODEC AJMAN JAPANESE SCHOOL, established in 1977. In 1979, permission was granted to open a Japanese School in Dubai, and the early classes began in Deira. In 1987, the school moved to its site in Al Wasl, where it continues to serve children from diverse backgrounds. The core of the program is Japanese language and culture, with instructional approaches that support language development and cultural literacy within an international community. The school offers a supportive environment for Japanese nationals to continue their academic journey while maintaining connections to home culture, and it welcomes families living in Dubai who seek continuity of study in a familiar linguistic framework. Dubai Japanese School provides a focused, culturally grounded option for expatriate families seeking language and education alongside life in Dubai.
