PNJKIS: 25 years of providing quality education in Davao city
IN ITS 25 years of providing quality education and being the leading school in Davao City that seeks to prioritize the strengthening of Filipino-Japanese relationship, the Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai International School (PNJKIS) has evolved as a top of the class education and human values development institution.
Standing tall along Mamay Road, Lanang, Davao City, Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai (PNJK) traces its roots to the home and better prospects that Davao provided to Japanese nationals seeking better opportunities long before World War II broke out, which were cut off when the Philippine government mandated all Japanese to return to their lands after the war ended.
