Study Japanese in Arlington

Our Story

Study Japanese in Arlington Inc, originally founded as Save Japanese in Arlington in May 2018, emerged in response to the Arlington Public School System's decision to eliminate the Japanese language program. Through a passionate student-led grassroots campaign, SJA successfully reinstated the program across all high schools in the county. As of 2021, approximately 100 students are enrolled in Japanese classes at three high schools within the Arlington Public Schools system. This organization, now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, continues to foster a love for the Japanese language and culture in the DC area.

Impact

SJA has made a significant impact by reinstating the Japanese language program in Arlington Public Schools, leading to increased enrollment and greater access to Japanese language education for the community.
