If you wish to enter your child into a public elementary school/junior high school, you are advised to visit your municipal administrative office or the Board of Education and convey your intention to enter the child into a school in Japan. There you will be given an application form; fill in the essentials and submit it to the municipal administrative office. When applying, the alien registration card of the student and their parents/guardians must be presented. The application is open throughout the year. If you wish to enter your child into an international school or national/private elementary school or junior high school, please apply directly to each school.
* To those who have completed alien registration, a school entry notification and school guide will be sent to parents/guardians of children expected to enter school in the coming school year. This notification will include the school to enter and dates for health checks to be taken prior to entering school.
* There may be cases where the parents/guardians fail to receive such notice. Please consult your municipal administrative office or the Board of Education at an early stage before your child reaches six.
