No kidding. They could have at least thrown in Pacific Islander or somesuch.

True, the name of the school is Okinawa Christian School International.
However, the schedule is almost completely American -- for instance, the
school was closed this past Memorial Day, and the school year runs
Sep-Jun -- and it is accredited through a US body. Until recently, that was
its only accreditation, although starting this year it is also accredited
with the Monbusho.
We aren't allowed on base so that wasn't an option.
