FAQ
Questions Families Relocating to Japan Care About Most
Q1 · What Japanese level does the child need?
Public schools require Japanese N3 or above; private schools can apply from around N4 with 6-12 months of bridging support; international schools teach primarily in English. We provide quantitative recommendations during the assessment phase.
Q2 · Must parents accompany in Japan?
Minor children need a guardian in Japan, which can be a parent, relative, or a compliant guardian we assign. If you already hold a Business Manager visa and the child has a dependent visa, you can accompany them yourself.
Q3 · How much does international school tuition cost?
Annual tuition at international schools in Tokyo and Kansai typically ranges from ¥1.5 million to ¥3 million (including IB), varying by grade level and school. We prepare an annual budget list to support family decisions.
Q4 · What if we plan to return to China for advancement later?
Based on the child's current grade, we match the most suitable two-way transition plan, such as IB/AP + overseas university paths, or foreign-national children's schools + domestic international department paths.
