• The Board of Trustees

The Board consists of three or more trustees who work on a voluntary basis and make the strategic management decisions.

• The Management Committee

The Committee consists of the Head Teacher, Deputy Head, the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees and the Finance Trustee. It makes decisions about the day-to-day running of the school.

• The Teaching Group

This group includes all teachers and is led by the Head Teacher to work together to deliver a high standard teaching. This is also the forum where the Head Teacher and Deputy share the decisions of the Board and Management Committee with teaching staff.

All OJS teachers hold recognised teaching qualifications such as Japanese government approved teaching licences and JLTCT by Japan Educational Exchanges and Services.

• Sakura-kai (The Parents Association)

Parents automatically become members of Sakura-kai when their child enrols at OJS. A school newsletter is issued to all Sakura-kai members before the start of each term and at the end of the academic year. The two annual Cultural Days are organised through the joint efforts of Sakura-kai committee members, OJS staff, parent volunteers, and pupil volunteers.
