Japan’s First Lady Visits Boston Latin Academy

The City of Boston was honored by a visit from the Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, and the First Lady, Akie Abe on April 26th and 27th, 2015. While the Prime Minister was speaking at a local university, the First Lady paid a visit to Boston Latin Academy (BLA), a school that many FGLP alumni visit during their time in Boston.

The visit was coordinated by the Japanese Consulate, and BLA was chosen specifically because of its outstanding Japanese Language department. The First Lady participated in three Japanese language classes, and answered questions from students.
