Mission Statement
SJA was born out of a necessity of Saving Japanese in Arlington in 2018. We continue our mission of preserving and expanding Japanese language programs in public schools, as well as building and tapping into interest in Japanese language and culture in Arlington and beyond.
Description
SJA started as Save Japanese in Arlington in May 2018, after the Arlington Public School System (APS) announced its intention to end the Japanese language program. SJA launched a student-led grassroots campaign, organizing a petition, and making an appeal at the school board meeting. The Japanese program was reinstated at all high schools in the county that school year. As of 2021, about 100 students are enrolled in Japanese classes at three high schools in APS.
To continue our grassroots promotion of Japanese language and culture in Arlington, SJA, now with a new name, Study Japanese in Arlington, became a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in September 2018. We continue to create free Japanese language and cultural opportunities for residents of the DC area.
