International schools were originally created as educational facilities for foreign children.

Therefore, in addition to being able to receive an international standard education in Japan, it is also a feature that you can acquire an international culture and experience multinational culture.

​

International schools are generally open to children up to the age of 18.

Keep in mind that many schools are not stipulated by the School Education Law of Japan, and in such cases they may be deemed not to have fulfilled compulsory elementary and junior high school education.

Even high school students may not be eligible to take university entrance exams in Japan without passing the university certification exam.

However, most schools offer international diplomas.

Please do your research before considering admission.

By the way, the American school is a school for Americans to receive an American education, and the British school is a school for British people, so strictly speaking, it is different from an international school.

have multinational students

​

International schools have students from many different countries, although the ratio varies from school to school.

There are many children from families who have many transfers and schools, such as expatriates and trade workers.

Especially at an international school in Tokyo, there are students from about 30 countries.

You can learn with children from all over the world, such as the United States, European countries, Australia, Latin American countries, etc., so you can acquire an international sense.

Also, some schools limit the number of Japanese students so that the national ratio is not too biased, while others have a relatively high ratio of Japanese students.

 

One of the benefits is that you can make friends of various nationalities. By interacting with people from various countries from an early age, children can naturally acquire communication skills that are useful in the international community.

 

Accepting diversity and broadening your horizons will also lead to the personal growth of children. You will also be able to make international connections that will come in handy when you grow up.

Respect individuality and receive education to enhance independence

​

At international schools with students from various countries and regions, education is conducted to respect the individuality of each student and enhance their independence.

 

Unlike most schools in Japan, there are no strict rules, and many classes are designed to encourage children's independence.

 

For example, there are many classes that cultivate the ability to think for oneself, such as the introduction of Nordic-style programs in which children decide their own schedules and frequent fieldwork.

 

In this way, it can be said that one of the great benefits is that children are given many opportunities to develop various abilities in addition to studying.

​

International standard advanced education

​

Many international schools design their own educational philosophy and curriculum based on international standards.

Many schools are accredited by international accreditation organizations with the aim of cultivating originality and inquiring minds.

It seems that there are many schools that focus on developing ICT skills, presentation skills, communication skills, imagination, etc., and receive advanced education.
