Curriculum

The school uses Japanese as its language of instruction. Foreign language instruction is two hours per week and consists of the Spanish and English languages.Fukuda, p. 4. "3.3. Col·legi Japonès de Barcelona Així com els altres col·legis japonesos, la gran majoria d’alumnat són els fills dels treballadors que acostumen a passar uns pocs anys a Barcelona, mentre que els fills dels matrimonis mixtos (un/a dels quals és japonès/a) hi formen una minoria. La llengua vehicular d’instrucció és japonès, tot i que s’imparteixen classes del castellà i de l’anglès dues hores setmanals. Pel que fa al català, n’hi ha una classe especial per als nens mixtos que passaran a alguna escola local després de marxar del CJ, però la resta dels nens l’aprenen només simbòlicament per les ocasions especials com ara el festival escolar." , a professor at the

and the author of ''Els usos lingüístics dels nens japonesos i nipocatalans/nipocastellans escolaritzats a Catalunya: el cas de l’alumnat de l’escola complementària de llengua japonesa i del col·legi japonès de Barcelona'', stated that many students do not make sufficient progress in their foreign language instruction because they primarily have relations with other Japanese, have little motivation to learn the area language since they understand they will only be temporarily in Barcelona, and because of the few hours per week of foreign language instruction.Fukuda, p. 4-5. "En general, l’ensenyament lingüístic del col·legi no funciona prou bé degut a poques hores lectives, i sobretot per la temporalitat d’estada i la falta d’ocasió en què poden emprar les llengües. Alguns nens que saben que la seva estada a Barcelona és temporal, no es motiven a aprendre les llengües locals. A més a més, les seves relacions interpersonals es mantenen gairebé exclusivament entre els seus compatriotes. " Most CJB students have trivial amounts of

instruction for festivals and other symbolic reasons. Some of the part-Japanese students take a special Catalan class.

As of 2009, most students are children of temporary Japanese workers. Norio Sudo, the consul general of Japan in Barcelona, said that these parents are managers of Japanese companies. Some students are part-Japanese. The students range in age from five years old to 15 years old.
