School Program

The Consular Office of Japan offers a free educational program for elementary, middle, and high school students. Each presentation is about an hour long with a general introduction to Japan followed by information on a specific topic, such as Japanese culture, art, or history. The School Program Coordinator works with the teacher to curate a unique presentation for his/her class.

Presentations generally include a lecture accompanied by a slideshow with information and pictures. Past presentations include:

• Videos on Japan topics
• Musical performances
• Interactive activities such as origami
• Informational materials such as maps and pamphlets for your classroom

The program is offered at no cost to the teachers or the school. However, teachers may be asked to provide some supplies such as a whiteboard and a projector.

Visits can be scheduled Monday-Friday between 10:00am and 4:00pm.
