Colegio Japonés de Las Palmas (ラス・パルマス日本人学校, Rasu Parumasu Nihonjin Gakkō) was a Japanese international school in Tafira Alta, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.[1]
History
It opened in October 1973, making it the first Japanese school in Spain and the third-oldest in Europe if the Canary Islands are counted as being in Europe.[2] A Japanese teacher arrived to the island as it opened.[3] The school served members of the Japanese community involved in the fishing industry. Due to regulations, the business decreased in size, and accordingly the school decreased in size.[4]
In 2001, the Japanese fleet was moved from Las Palmas, leading to a reduction in the area's Japanese community. The number of students fell below the minimum number supported by the Japanese government.[3] It was closed in March 2001,[5] and was replaced by the Escuela Complementaria Japonesa de Las Palmas (ラスパルマス日本語学校), a part-time school.[3] The decline of the Japanese community of Las Palmas led many institutions catering to the Japanese community, including the day school, to close.[2] The closure of the day school resulted in the demise of the island's Japanese cultural exchange programme.[6]

Pero lamentablemente todo tiene un final, en este caso se trata del cierre definitivo del colegio japonés de Las Palmas, [...] Siempre es triste que un centro deba cerrar sus puertas,
