Established in 1987, Gakkyusha U.S.A. Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gakkyusha Co., Ltd. d/b/a “ena,” that provides an educational program for Japanese pupils aged between 3 and 18 years. Gakkyusha U.S.A. opened its first school in the United States, ena New York, in April 1987. In 2019, we operate 12 schools in seven different states in the United States: New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Michigan, Maryland and Texas.

There are tens of thousands of Japanese families living in the U.S., particularly the East Coast, West Coast, and Mid-West. Because of the major differences in the methods and goals between Japanese and American education systems, the children of these families are confronted with great difficulty upon returning to schools in Japan.

Although Japanese children generally adjust well to American schools when they move to the U.S., the opposite is not true upon return to Japan. Thus, especially given the differences in educational goals and methodology between the two education systems, the looming return to Japan has caused great concern to those Japanese parents whose children have been removed from mainstream Japanese education for some time. To fill this need for supplemental Japanese education, we have established preparatory schools that will provide a Japanese educational program for Japanese pupils temporarily living on the East Coast, West Coast, and Mid-West. Our 16 program parallels the curriculum they would have received had they remained in Japan. Directory of Japanese Companies Located in Texas
