JCS History
On 26 August 1964, the Society was approved by the Registrar of Societies and later published in the Government Gazette as a non-profit organization. The founding members strongly believed that language learning is a gateway towards learning the culture of a country. Gradually, in March 1966, a language study committee was formed. The Society started the ‘Japanese language course’ as one of its activity. We began with 3 Japanese language classes under the assistance of the Japan Embassy.
Thus, the JCS Japanese Language School was formed and registered with the Ministry of Education in Singapore in October 1982; managed by a Board of School Committee. Today, more than 2,000 students enrolled to the school each year.
JCS quartersThe Society shifted from Orchard Road to its quarters in Middle Road in the year 1981.
