Asahi Shinbun - Japanese article

Growing Presence of International Schools in Japan

February 2023


For those of you interested in the media's take on the growth of international schools in Japan have a look at the most recent article in Japan's Asahi Shinbun.  

The gist of the article and others like it, including a 7 page spread in the Globe on Jan 22, is that these schools are for Japanese too, especially those modern families who may be dissatisfied with the domestic system.

Overall these articles paint a very positive picture of the presence and growth of International Schools in Japan, while downplaying the significance of archaic rules which might discourage some families from going outside the domestic system.
