London Bunka Yochien

The London Bunka Yochien School was founded in 1996. The Yochien (Kindergarten) is located in a wooden building in Acton, West London. The school rents the building from a company which, in turn, rents the land from a national rail company. Outside school hours the building is used by a sports and social club. The school uses the playing fields for physical education.

The school is registered for up to 25 boys and girls aged from two to six years of age. There are currently 18 pupils on roll. Most pupils are from families who are based in London for a short period of time. Most pupils spend two years at the school. The school follows the Japanese curriculum for all age groups. Pupils are mostly taught in Japanese, but there is some teaching in English. The school does not make use of any additional provision. There are three full-time teachers who are long-term residents in the United Kingdom.
