The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies Keio Academy of New York, Nishiyamato Academy, and Seigakuin Atlanta, in addition to the former Tennessee Meiji Gakuin, as shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools). The Greenwich, New Jersey, Chicago, and Guam schools are classified by MEXT as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. Italicized schools, including the Lyceum Kennedy, Sundai Michigan, and International Bilingual School (as of 2000), are/were not recognized as Japanese schools by MEXT. |
