Brazilian schools in Japan (ブラジル学校, Burajiru gakkou) are schools that specifically cater to Brazilians living in Japan, many of whom have little experience with or knowledge of Japanese culture or language.

According to the Japanese Ministry of Education, there are more than 80 such schools across Japan as of 2009, 53 of which have received official approval by the Brazilian government. Between 30 to 200 students are enrolled at each of these schools.

In addition to these, it's likely there are many more unlicensed schools in operation.

Tuition

The tuition fee for these schools can reach about 30 thousand yen per month for one student.

The recent global downturn has put many schools in a difficult position. Since they receive no assistance from the state and rely completely on tuition fees to operate, the schools are struggling since unemployed parents are unable to pay for tuition, with numerous schools forced to close.

Facilities

Most schools operate from small rented properties, with no grounds or gymnasiums.

Some schools operate school buses for their students.

Fushūgaku

Fushūgaku is a Japanese word meaning a foreign child in Japan who cannot go to School because the school fees cannot be paid by their parents.
