The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies almost all of these schools as shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools). The Shanghai Japanese School is classified by MEXT as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international school) as it is operated by a Japanese association. At the Liceo Mexicano Japonés (LMJ) in Mexico City, only the Mexican program offers senior high school, while its Japanese program ends at junior high school; therefore LMJ not included on this list.
