My wife and I are educators in the Nagoya area and have an only child. She's bright and a hard worker, and we just want to see her get the best opportunity to bloom and grow.
It looks like she'll be attending High School here and will have to take the entrance exams. I wanted to research some of the most 'prestigious' or favored High Schools with a some level of 'cachet'. She has many talents and I hoped this might figure into the process, but I imagine it's entirely based on test score, so we want to start the process as early as possible =).
We aren't snobs, we believe in real education (as I said we are educators) she just works so hard and has many talents, we want to see her finally 'win' something for all the work she puts in. She deserves that and maybe a top school (if possible) well help her self-confidence… you know, we just want the best for her. The best she can do. Either way a top flight education is what we seek. Whatever prestige means to other Japanese students, connections or entrance into a particular Japanese University won't matter to us. Of course I hope she's surrounded by great educators and good people.
That's a very long way of asking the question – "which High Schools considered the 'top' or 'most prestigious' in the area?" Thanks so much for any help.
Postscript… Oh, and are any of the schools known for advanced performance? Dance, Singing, Acting, Art? Gymnastics? Foreign Languages?
Thanks again,
T (and family)
