The Sydney Japanese International School (abbreviated as SJIS) Japanese: シドニー日本人学校, romanized: Shidonī Nihonjin Gakkō, formerly known in English as the Sydney Japanese School, is an independent co-educational Nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international) primary and secondary day school, located in Terrey Hills within the Northern Beaches Council area of Sydney, Australia.
The school serves elementary and junior high school levels, from Year K to Year 9. The school accepts non-Japanese students, offering them international classes. SJIS is the only Japanese international school in the world to have an English-language division.
The international classes follow the New South Wales curriculum, while there is also a Japanese division following the Japanese curriculum. Tetsuo Mizukami (水上 徹男 Mizukami Tetsuo), author of The Sojourner Community: Japanese Migration and Residency in Australia, wrote in 2007 that the international classes are "so popular" that Australian parents have requested that the SJIS introduce them at the high school level.
