Our History
In December 2015, a small idea was born in Tokyo. A dedicated team began designing a Japanese Curriculum and Methodology Program focused on academics, character, social values, and emotional development. This initiative was inspired by Mr. Ali Leonard Nakamura, a man of both Indonesian and Japanese heritage, who saw the need to bridge cultural and language gaps between the two nations.
To bring this vision to life, Mr. Nakamura founded Nakamura School in 2018. The school adopted a distinctive and holistic educational approach—merging the Indonesian Curriculum, international standards, and the principles of Japanese education. Its mission was not only to ensure academic excellence but also to instill moral responsibility and promote well-being.
That same year, construction of the school building began. The first phase was completed in time to open the 2018/2019 Academic Year on July 9, 2018.
The second phase followed on July 9, 2021, and the third on November 9, 2023. The fourth phase is now being planned to further expand facilities.
Nakamura School started with Early Childhood Education and has grown to include Primary and Secondary levels. Along the way, it has nurtured both knowledge and cultural respect, fostering a learning environment where Indonesian and Japanese communities grow and thrive together.

Our Values
Our educational philosophy is firmly anchored in the rich and time-honored foundations of Japanese culture and traditions. Our mission extends beyond the mere transmission of knowledge; it is a steadfast commitment to fostering the development of well-rounded individuals. These students not only acquire a deep appreciation for Japanese culture and traditions but also internalize and embody a set of profound core values that serve as the cornerstone of their character development and life journey, ensuring that they are not just academically adept but also morally upright, socially responsible, and equipped to make meaningful contributions to society.
A Holistic Curriculum
Nakamura School adopts the philosophy of Chi-Toku-Tai: a Japanese philosophy that emphasizes three fundamental elements: Chi (Wisdom), Toku (Virtue), and Tai (Body), which in the context of education promotes a holistic approach to learning and personal development.
Thus, by embracing this philosophy in education, we can nurture individuals who are not only academically proficient but also emotionally grounded, morally upright, and physically healthy, prepared to make positive contributions to their communities and the world.
