The Japanese School of Suzhou (JSS) is a Japanese international school in the Suzhou New District of Suzhou, China.[1] On February 28, 2005, the Ministry of Education of China approved the establishment of the school.[2]

The current campus on Huahai Road (淮海路) in the Suzhou New District was scheduled to open in September 2012. The original campus, which opened in 2005, had a cost of 20 million yuan.[3]

On the afternoon of June 24, 2024, an unemployed Chinese man attacked a Japanese mother and her preschool boy while they were waiting for their school bus in Suzhou. The bus attendant Hu Youping and others tried to stop the attacker. Hu was wounded during the confrontation and died two days later.
