Toin Gakuen Schule Deutschland
Toin Gakuen Schule Deutschland was a Japanese international school in Bad Saulgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It opened since many Japanese company employees assigned to work in Germany wanted their children to be prepared for the Japanese school system when they return to Japan. The school had both junior and senior high school sections. Since it was an affiliate of Toin Gakuen, this school was an overseas branch of a Japanese private school, or a Shiritsu zaigai kyoiku shisetsu. The school provided boarding facilities for its students.
In 1994 the school had 136 students, its peak enrollment. The student body declined, with one reason being the Great Recession, despite promotional activities in Europe. As of April 2010 there were 47 students, about one third of the 1994 number, with no 7th grade students. In March 2010 the school announced that it will close by March 2012.
