The Thai Japanese Association School (Japanese: 泰日協会学校 Tai-hi Kyōkai Gakkō or the バンコク日本人学 Bankoku Nihonjin Gakkō meaning "Bangkok Japanese School", Thai: โรงเรียนสมาคมไทย-ญี่ปุ่น, RTGSRong Rian Samakhom Thai Yipun) is a Japanese school located in Huai Khwang District, Bangkok on Rama 9 Road. It is sponsored by the Thai-Japanese Association.[1] It is the school with the largest campus in Bangkok, and one of the two Japanese schools in Bangkok. It allows students from junior school Grade 1 (equivalent to the U.S. 1st grade) students to middle school Grade 3 (equivalent to the U.S. 9th grade) students to learn. The school only allows students with a Japanese nationality to study.[citation needed]

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]
