In Japan public schools start in April, and at that time most cherry trees are in blossom. The local Education Board and the schools have sent you some letters with various information so far. Have you already read any of them? Do you have any questions? The Japanese school system differs from your countries’; therefore, you might have some questions or concerns about what you need to know and do now.
We are hosting a few small gatherings to go through “the Guidance for Those Thinking about Enrolling in Minato City Municipal Elementary Schools” * together: we can answer any questions you have, and give you some suggestions and advice so that you will be able to understand the Japanese school system better and prepare for the school year.
12 gatherings are scheduled for the following dates and times, and three languages are provided: English, easy Japanese and Chinese. When you are available, please come to join us.
