History
The Japanese School of New York established a branch campus in New Jersey on April 1, 1992, with grades one through four.
Its original enrollment was 13, but by May 1993 it had 60 students. That month, the school employed three Americans as teachers, while Japanese people had other teaching positions.
On April 1, 1999, the branch campus became its own school, The New Jersey Japanese School.
