The Friends of the Fine Arts (FOFA) supports ASIJ students as they engage in their learning in a broad area of performing arts, including but not limited to music, theater, dance, speech and debate, upon the request of teachers and faculty members. FOFA typically kicks off every school year with the annual Fine Arts Faculty Luncheon. FOFA also hosts the ASIJ Talent Spotlight that showcases student talents in performing arts.
The FOFA Committee Chair is elected each spring and is responsible for forming and supervising the committee.
If you are interested in volunteering for an open position, email FOFA Chair Yuriko Imai at fofa@pta.asij.ac.jp.
