Christian Academy in Japan (クリスチャン・アカデミー・イン・ジャパン?) (CAJ), established in 1950, is a private Christian school in the city of Higashi Kurume, Tokyo, Japan that provides an American-style education in English. As of 2005, CAJ had 460 students, from kindergarten through high school. About 48% of the students are children of Christian missionaries who work for some 40 different mission organizations. The students come from more than 25 countries, with 41% from the United States, 32% from Japan, and 12% from Korea. Most students commute, but a dormitory on the campus houses up to 16 middle-school or high-school students. The four-acre (16,000 m²) campus in the western suburbs of Tokyo also includes a classroom building, auditorium, library, gymnasium, computer lab, home economics and industrial arts facilities, and a dining hall.
