The Osaka Chinese School is a Chinese international school in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan.[1] It serves grades 1-9Ú.[2]

In 1986 Chang Hwei-chin, then the school principal, stated that every year students of the Chinese school's junior high school entered Japanese senior high schools after passing entrance examinations for admission. During the 1980s the school had experienced financial difficulties and principal Chang stated that the school had a "survival problem" in 1986.[3]

The government of Osaka Prefecture classifies the school as a "miscellaneous school".[4] The municipal government of Osaka allows OCS graduates who are Chinese citizens and people of Chinese descent to sit for public high school examinations, but the government has refused the same permission to OCS graduates who are Japanese citizens not of Chinese descent.[5]
