History
In partnership with the Japanese American
community, San Francisco's first Board of Education
established JBBP in 1973 to preserve and
advance the legacy of Japanese Americans and the Japanese
language and culture for future generations. Since
then, JBBP has been recognized for providing an excellent
educational experience, due to the combined efforts of its
founders, teachers and families and the unwavering support
of the community - perhaps the most distinguished hallmark
of the program.
In the Fall of 2006, JBBP relocated to Rosa
Parks Elementary School, centrally located in the Western
Addition (from its former home in the Sunset District),
continuing its distinguished program model and academic
offerings, while building a new future together with the
existing general education and special education program on
site. Located one block from Japantown, the move is a
homecoming to JBBP's founding community, with unprecedented
opportunities to enhance and strengthen its culture an
academic resources from the rich multi-cultural assets of the
surrounding area.
