The Colegio Japonés de Madrid (CJM) (マドリッド日本人学校, Madoriddo Nihonjin Gakkō, Spanish: "Japanese College of Madrid") is a Japanese international school in the El Plantío area of Moncloa-Aravaca, Madrid,[1] in the city's northwestern portion. Many Japanese families, particularly those with children, live in northwest Madrid, in proximity to the school.[2] It was established on 1 September 1981 (Shōwa 56).[3]
The Escuela Complementaria Japonesa de Madrid (ECJ; マドリッド補習授業校 Madoriddo Hoshū Jugyō Kō), a Japanese supplementary school, is a part of the CJM. The ECJ was merged into the Madrid Japanese School in April 1996 (Heisei Year 8).[4]
As of 2011 the day school had fewer than 30 students,[5] and as of 2012 it had 28 students.[6] It gives progress evaluations to students, ranked 1 through 5, taking into account the students' maturity levels. It does not use suspensions or recoveries. Students who are higher performing help those who need assistance.[5]

"En el colegio Japonés de Madrid, que no llega a la treintena de alumnos, también se tiene en cuenta la madurez de cada uno. No hay suspensos y recuperaciones, se les puntúa del 1 al 5 para evaluar su evolución y, si lo necesitan, destacar qué ayuda necesitan. Los mejores ayudan a los rezagados."

Turkey is not included in the classification of Europe by the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT). Nihonjin gakkō are day schools operated by Japanese associations and usually only include, within the Japanese system, primary and junior high school levels. Shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu are overseas branches of Japanese schools; these are boarding and day schools. MEXT categorizes Japanese sections of European international schools as hoshū jugyō kō part-time schools and not as full-time schools. See the template for part-time schools.
