Overview
Thai-Japanese Association School Sriracha opened in early 2009 with 89 students as a Sriracha campus of the Thai-Japanese Association School network based in Bangkok, and has since grown to roughly 450 students — almost entirely children of Japanese-passport families posted to the Sriracha, Laem Chabang and Amata Nakorn plants along Chonburi's industrial corridor. The school teaches Japan's Ministry of Education national curriculum in Japanese through primary and lower-secondary level, letting children re-enter Japan's school system without a curriculum gap when a parent's assignment ends, while also running cultural exchange activities with neighbouring Thai schools.

Who it's for
TJAS is built for Japanese-passport families on a corporate posting who intend to return to Japan and cannot afford a curriculum gap. It teaches in Japanese and is not an English-medium option for a non-Japanese-speaking family. Two honest caveats. First, this page previously stated that admission is “generally tied to Japanese nationality or a Japanese-affiliated employer's relocation programme”; we could not verify that rule from the school, so we no longer assert it — if you are not a Japanese-passport family and are considering TJAS, ask the school directly rather than trusting any third-party page, including this one. Second, and more consequential for planning: there is an elementary division and a lower-secondary division here, and no senior high school, so a family whose child reaches roughly age fifteen must plan the next step in advance. If you need an English-curriculum school in the same corridor, see Assumption College Sriracha's English-medium streams or the International School of the Eastern Seaboard (ISE) in nearby Bo Win.
Location & getting there
TJAS sits in Surasak, Si Racha — central to Chonburi's Japanese and corporate community, close to Bangkok Hospital Sriracha and the deepest supply of serviced apartments aimed at relocating professionals. Chonburi's industrial corridor has no rail system, so most families drive or use a company shuttle.
