Suzume no Gakko is a 2-week summer program where children learn and experience Japanese-American culture. We encourage children to appreciate their Japanese heritage and take pride in their unique cultural background.

Founded in 1977 we are a non-profit, parent-participation program for children grades 1 through 6. Parents participate in every aspect of the program and are encouraged to share their talents and special skills with the children.
