Admission to elementary & secondary (junior high) schools

Education for foreign students

Although the Japanese law does not include foreign students in compulsory education, Japanese elementary and secondary schools do accept foreign children. Your child is not obligated to attend a Japanese elementary or secondary school, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the opportunity to attend.

School register

Registered residents who will become school age the next school year will receive a school enrollment notification (Nyugaku tsuchi-sho) in early December. Parents are asked to fill out the enrollment form (Nyugaku todoke), which is sent to you with the school enrollment notification, and submit it to the designated school before the deadline. If parents do not wish to send their children to the designated schools, they do not need to submit the enrollment form.
As for those who are registered as residents after November and wish to attend a public school, please come to our School Education Division (Gakko Kyoiku-ka) with your residence card (zairyu card) or foreign registration card.

Transfering schools

Foreign children who wish to continue studying after arriving in Japan can start school in the middle of the grade in Japanese public schools

How to register

Please come to our School Education Division (Gakko Kyoiku-ka) with your seal and residence card (zairyu card) or foreign registration card after completing the resident registration for your child at the Resident Registration Division (Jumin-ka).

School life support

Japanese language assistance

Language assistance is available for Japanese returnee children and foreign children who attend municipal elementary/junior high schools and who are in need of linguistic support in their school life or study. Japanese language teachers are arranged upon application via school.

Financial assistance

Costs for school supplies are assisted for parents/guardians who have difficulties in sending their children to schools due to economic reasons. Documents to show your income and other information are required for eligibility screening
