ADMISSIONS

Entry and Transfer Student Admission Qualifications

In principle, the school-age calculation is based on Article 17 of the Enforcement Regulations of the School Education Law in Japan.

Classes are conducted in Japanese, using Japanese textbooks established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, and are advanced following the progress of compulsory education in Japan, so enrolled children and students must meet the following conditions:

Ability to have basic conversations in school-age Japanese without difficulty.
Students who wish to transfer must be able to read, write and understand Japanese equivalent to school age.

The school conducts interviews and transfer admission tests for children and students who wish to enter the school. The interview will be conducted by the school principal or school director and the teacher of the desired grade. In addition, when transferring from a school in Japan, we will be exempt from the transfer test.

Parental Responsibility

Parents and guardians of our school children are aware that our school is operated by voluntary activities by related parties, and have the responsibility to actively cooperate in daily school management.

Parents and guardians shall promptly respond to warnings and recommendations from the student's teacher or the principal regarding students who are noticeably late, leave early, are absent, or act that significantly interferes with the progress of the class, and cooperate in the smooth progress of the class.

About Enrollment Trials

Applicants for the one-day trial enrollment are allowed to attend the trial enrollment accompanied by a guardian, assuming that they are willing to enroll. Admission fees and tuition fees will not be collected for one-day trial admission. Two days or more will be treated the same as enrolled students.
