Kobe Chinese School is a Chinese international school in Chuo-ku, Kobe, Japan.[1] It is one of two Mainland China-oriented schools in Japan, the other being Yokohama Yamate Chinese School.[2] It provides elementary and junior high school education in grades 1-9[3] and offers first choice in admission to children of alumni. The second choice is priority to Chinese people. The school established a policy of trying to minimize enrollment of Japanese students in 2000.[4] In 2008 about 40% of the students were Japanese nationals who are ethnic Chinese.[5]
