About this event
The Japan Research Residency (JRR) serves as the “capstone” academic experience for 8th graders enrolled in the Japanese Dual Language Immersion (JDLI) Program at Mt. Tabor Middle School. This two-week integrated academic cultural exchange to Japan in the spring provides 8th grade Japanese Immersion students at Mt. Tabor Middle School the opportunity to utilize their language skills and cultural understanding to explore and conduct research in rural and urban areas of Hiroshima, Hyogo and Kyoto prefectures. The Japanese Research Residency is an academic experience offered to JDLI students by Portland Public Schools. The trip is PPS-facilitated (not sponsored) and is not a required trip. Oya No Kai is pleased to support PPS and the JRR with scholarships and administrative assistance. Please note that the dates are tentative. Please also note that the the exchange is budgeted at $4000 per student. This total may fluctuate depending on airfare prices and other changing costs. Once airfare has been purchased and other expenses fine-tuned, we will adjust the total due. Historically, any unused funds have been returned to families.
