At one time the Japanese school, previously in the central city, moved to a suburban area. This caused a reduction in the Japanese children's interactions with Thai society because the children began to spend a large amount of time on school buses.[2]
It is affiliated with the Thai-Japanese Association School Sriracha in Si Racha.
Student body
As of April 2018 the school has a total of 2,631 students and 229 teachers at the Bangkok campus, and 456 students at the Siracha campus.[3][4]
