Shenzhen Fuji Xerox and several other Japanese companies sponsored the Japanese school. It was scheduled to begin operations in April 2008. On April 23, 2008 the Ministry of Education of China approved the establishment of the school. The school opened on Friday June 13, 2008. At that time the school had 39 students and 17 teachers. The school initially occupied an area on the second floor of the Haitao Hotel in Shekou. The school was scheduled to move out within three years and take a permanent facility.
