Welcome to Rosa Parks JBBP

The Rosa Parks Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP) is a 35-year old, K-5 alternative elementary school program of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Its distinctive curriculum integrated instruction and experience in Japanese language and culture - delivered through native Japanese-speaking instructors or "sensei" -- with a rigorous core curriculum taught in English by credentialed teachers. The result is a unique educational experience for students and their families.

 This unique approach to language study offers several benefits including:

• Authentic Japanese language and culture instruction

• Japanese language including reading, writing and speaking

• Commitment to language study as specific time is reserved for that purpose
