Top Japan Boarding Schools
Why opt for a Japanese boarding school?
With modern, dynamic metropolises like Tokyo and Osaka and the traditional, historical rural countryside of towns like Kyoto and Matsumoto, Japan offers expat families a unique way of life.
The population of Japan is estimated to be 127 million. Approximately 2 million foreigners live in Japan presently, 75% of which come from nearby Asian nations.
Students and parents looking for a challenging academic curriculum frequently select a boarding school in Asia, particularly Japan. In their classrooms, students are intellectually engaged in unique and innovative ways. Boarding schools ensure pupils are immersed in a learning environment where education is the main focus of all activities. Most boarding schools have an average class size of 12 students. Students are encouraged to reflect and communicate. They take an active role in their education. Even after the school day ends, teachers who live on campus are available for further assistance.
