Nihon Go Gakko (Seattle)

Nihon Go Gakko (Shiatoru Nihongo Gakko), also known as the Japanese Language School (JLS), is a Japanese language education center in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is based at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington, on the periphery of the Seattle International District in a historic building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The JLS provides Japanese language classes to both children and adults. Originally known as Kokugo Gakko, it is also the oldest Japanese language school in North America. Since the combination of the Nikkei Heritage Association of Washington and the JLS in 2003 to form the Japanese Cultural and Community of Washington (JCCCW), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, the JLS has become its premier program.
