About Us

Parallel Educational Services (formerly SSS) was established to help Christian evangelical missionary families in Japan who homeschool their children or supplement Japanese schooling with English studies at home. Over the years we have welcomed other families to Parallel who desire this same kind of Christ-centered educational help. 

What Parallel Educational Services is not…

• Parallel Educational Services is not a school to teach English to non-native speakers, though we can help students maintain and progress in English skills.

• Parallel Educational Services does not provide regular classes or promote a particular curriculum. Parallel Educational Services supports parents and tutors, helping them teach their own children by providing resources, consultation, events and programs .
