Hi everyone,
We’re planning to move to Nagoya, Japan, with our two kids, ages 7 and 12. They are currently in Grade 2 and Grade 8, and I’m really worried about how this move might affect their education. Neither of them knows any Japanese, and I’m unsure what kind of schooling options are available for non-Japanese speaking children.
Ideally, I’d like them to continue their studies without too much disruption. However, private and international schools are out of our budget. I’ve heard that public schools might be an option, but I’m worried about how they’ll adjust, especially when it comes to language barriers and the potential for bullying.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What kind of schooling would you recommend for kids with zero Japanese language skills? Is it possible for them to integrate into a public school successfully, or should I look into alternative solutions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
