Welcome to Aozora Community!

Our vision and mission

 
 

Aozora Community (“Aozora” means blue sky in Japanese) is an educational and cultural non-profit organization (501c (3)) located in Brooklyn, NY. 

Our vision is to foster a community of curious, open-minded, and caring global citizens.

At Aozora, our mission is to provide quality education rooted in Japanese values, morals, and spirit. Our preschool offers a 100% Japanese immersion environment, where children grow through language, culture, and meaningful relationships. Beyond preschool, we offer Academy programs, camps, and Japanese classes for adults—creating opportunities for learners of all ages and language backgrounds to engage with Japanese culture.

Through our programs and community events, we strive to create spaces where people can connect, share resources, and celebrate one another.
