    Sydney Japanese International School, Terrey Hills

    About Sydney Japanese International School

    Welcome to the Sydney Japanese International School (SJIS) – a little piece of Japan nestled in the leafy suburb of Terrey Hills within Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches.

    The International Division of SJIS is a Kindergarten to Year 6 (K-6) school for local Australian and expatriate children. Welcoming students from all languages and cultures, they teach the NSW curriculum with a daily lesson in Japanese and weekly bilingual classes in PE, art, music, and ICT. Bilingual classes are taught by an Australian and a Japanese teacher working together. If your child doesn’t speak any Japanese, they will build their skills from first words to fluency.

    Set in peaceful surroundings, SJIS is a gentle environment where students can explore their identity and place in the world while learning an additional language.

    Their small class sizes allow teachers to see your child fully, from the big things — like writing an individual program to bring out your child’s full potential — to the little things — like ensuring every child eats properly. They cater to all learning needs with dedicated Learning Support, EAL/D, and enrichment programs, and our rigorous academic approach is reflected in their excellent NAPLAN results.

    Come and see how they foster a love of learning in a bilingual environment where every child is valued and supported. They look forward to welcoming you!

    • Ages: International Division Kindergarten – Year 6
    • Gender: Co-ed
    • Religion: Non-denominational

A volunteer managing the bus stop works with families to organise introductions. View bus schedule.
