The Japanische Schule in Hamburg e.V. (ハンブルグ日本人学校, Hanburugu Nihonjin Gakkō) is a Japanese international school located in Halstenbek, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, within the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.^[1]

History

The day school was founded on 23 April 1981, with the first campus at Osdorfer Landstraße 390/392 in Hamburg.^[2]

The current building in Halstenbek, designed by Architekten R+K, was completed in 1994.^[3] The school building has 3,500 square metres (38,000 sq ft) of space and includes athletic facilities. As of 2013 the school had 110 students and 13 teachers; the Japanese government sends the teachers to Germany.^[4]

A couple, Jürgen and Christa Heidorn, gave an orchard to the Japanese school.^[5]

The Britannica International School is being built on the site of the Japanese school.^[6]

The Japanisches Institut Hamburg (ハンブルグ補習授業校 Hanburugu Hoshū Jugyō Kō), a Japanese weekend educational programme, holds its classes in the Hamburg Japanese school building.^[7] It has done so since 1994.^[4]

Turkey is not included in the classification of Europe by the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT).
Nihonjin gakkō are day schools operated by Japanese associations and usually only include, within the Japanese system, primary and junior high school levels. Shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu are overseas branches of Japanese schools; these are boarding and day schools.
MEXT categorizes Japanese sections of European international schools as hoshū jugyō kō part-time schools and not as full-time schools. See the template for part-time schools.
