School and Education

For many foreign parents in Japan, navigating the high school system can feel overwhelming. Public and private schools each have their own strengths, but what’s important to know is that education here is more accessible than it seems. Government support makes both options within reach, and schools across Aichi offer a variety of courses—academic, technical, and even international—that match different goals and dreams. Beyond the paperwork and the entrance exams, what matters most is knowing that your child has a place to belong, to grow, and to prepare for the future. As parents, our role is to understand the choices, ask the right questions, and guide our children with confidence, knowing that Japan’s education system is designed to open doors, not close them.
