I am the current Treasurer of the high school and middle school classes of the Japanese Weekend School of New York. I started attending the school in 2012 since I entered into the preschool. Since then, I have consistently attended school every Saturday and will be graduating from my senior class in March of 2025.
At the JWSNY, I have been able to learn the Japanese language and culture. Classes are taught in Japanese and I have been able to learn how to read, write, and speak the language. I have also been able to learn about Japanese culture through various events and activities that the school holds. The school covers all topics in Japanese ranging in topics from math to chemistry to history.
While there is a strong focus on education, the school also stresses the importance of Japanese culture. The school holds fundraising events and field days to connect to our Japanese heritage. We raise funds from events such as the Flea Market to support Japanese society and charities.
