Welcome to Bob Hope Primary School!

A History of Our School

Welcome to our school!Our namesake, Bob Hope, entertainer and comedian, brought joy, happiness and laughter to many people during his lifetime. At heart, he was a child who engendered the spirit, wit, and intellect that is now emulated within our school. We stand alone, being the only U.S. primary school on the island of Okinawa. Our programming is complex and varied, addressing an ethnically diverse population with a wide range of abilities, languages, and socio-economic backgrounds. With a school population averaging around 800 students, we educate those children from pre-school through third grade. In addition, we have an extensive Special Education program designed to meet the needs of all students through the use of carefully designed individual educational plans. Bob Hope Primary School enjoys an active exchange with its host country educators and students. We foster within our children, an appreciation of the historical richness that exists in the Okinawan culture.
