| For the past fifteen years Zama American Middle School has been a part of Zama American High School grades 7-12 serving children from Camp Zama Army Post and Atsugi Navy Base. The school is located on the cherry blossom filled Army Post of Camp Zama in Zama, Japan, located 20 miles south of Tokyo in the Kanagawa Ken prefecture. Surrounded by many historical sites Zama American Middle School is the perfect place to spend your tour in Japan . School year 2006 - 2007 marked a very important milestone for the school as we began to transition into a separate and independent middle school. The school will be formally accredited by the North Central Accreditation Team this school year ensuring military, civilian, and international children receive a quality education designed to meet the developmental needs of this specific age child. The faculty, students, and parents are very excited about our new adventure of establishing a school which will focus on the academic, social, and behavior needs of the adolescent child. |  |
