Guide to International Schools in Japan

Japanese international schools are now easy to locate with the first ever comprehensive guidebook to international schools in Japan. It gives parents the ability to examine over a hundred schools, all in one publication. No need to gather brochures from many different schools; no need to sit endlessly jumping from one Japanese education related website to another; no need to read between the lines and wonder what’s missing!

Based on over 60 questions that parents ask when looking at educational options for their children, the ‘Guide to International Schools in Japan’ features six pages on each Japanese international school, including four photographs and 2000 words — it’s like having a mini-prospectus for over one hundred schools, all in one handy package!

If you are expatriate parents, a bicultural family, or internationally-minded Japanese parents, the ‘Guide to International Schools in Japan’ is essential reading!
