Yujin Gakuen is one of the top schools in Eugene. The staff and parents working together is truly amazing. The lottery system has nothing to do with 'donations.' In fact it is run by District 4J and YG has nothing to do with it. It does however give preference to siblings already attending. Also this is a public school so there is no 'price.' Only a modest supply list and activity fee. ($25) If you are interested in solid academics, performances, and of course learning Japanese in an immersion style environment. Check out Yujin Gakuen.
My three daughters went to Yujin Gakuen and they loved it. It is true there is a lottery, but most children get into the school. Parents are typically very involved and supportive. The School is challenging because children spend half the day immersed in a Japanese only classroom. I would recommend this school to parents of children who enjoy learning about other cultures. I don't recommend this school for children who need a slower paced, all English curriculum. Remember, the kids only get half the usual English instruction in this school. In general the school is great and most kids do very well. Children who have difficulty learning the Japanese receive extra tutoring.
I am so glad my child attended YG. It was a great environment for my daughter, she enjoyed attending YG and they made learning exciting and interesting for her. It is great that they teach more than just the Japanese language, but also the Japanese culture. As far as the school being 'overpriced,' I would have to disagree. If you check, YG spends less per student compared with the average of other Oregon public schools. They also have a higher student count per teacher compared with the average from other Oregon public schools, but still got better ratings than other public schools in the area. There are more pros than cons at YG, and I believe this school also gives real life skills that the students can use when they become adults.
