The Japanese School in Colombo (コロンボ日本人学校, Koronbo Nihonjin Gakkō) is a Japanese international school located in Colombo, the largest city in Sri Lanka. It was established in 1966 (Shōwa 41).^[1] As of 2023, there are 11 students in total, including 9 in the elementary school and 2 in the junior high school.^[2][3]

The school opened on September 2, 1966. For over 30 years, the school did not have its own school building, but in April 2002, a new building was completed and the school moved. There was a time when the number of students in the elementary and junior high schools exceeded 50, but in the 2010s, it has been hovering around 10.^[4]

Because it is a Japanese school, the curriculum is based on the Japanese curriculum, but it also offers classes on English language education, Sri Lankan culture, and traditional Japanese culture.^[5]

The school is particularly focused on international understanding education, and offers a wide range of classes such as local understanding, environmental education, culture, religion, and sports through International Activity classes.^[6] In addition, a supplementary textbook titled "Our Sri Lanka" was compiled and used in social studies classes.^[7]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, online classes were held using Zoom.^[8] With support from the Panasonic Education Foundation, classes were also conducted using one IPad per student.^[9]
