 Pasadena
Gakuen
Learning "Living Japanese"
Enjoyably Pasadena Gakuen was founded in 1953, and uses
the Pasadena Japanese Community Center facility, which is
located in north of Old Pasadena, close to Fair Oaks Avenue
on 210 Freeway. Pasadena Gakuen consists of elementary and
Jr. High school divisions. Every Saturday morning, students
study "living Japanese" willingly. In the morning, the teachers
greet students with a smile and teach basic conversations
repeatedly starting "good morning" and ending "good-bye".
For students who have no Japanese background, a supplemental
class is offered to help with homework.
The school puts great efforts in introducing the traditional
culture and custom of Japan, and once a month, the teachers
bring out a theme and explain it in classes. After school,
the flower arrangement class is offered by Kazuyuki Kitajima,
Sogetsu School, Chairman of Board of So.Calif. Ikebana Schools.
