What are the schools in Japan like?

"Visit first if possible, and any other school you may be interested in. I thought the previous reviewer was extremely unfair to the school and did not even care to get the facts straight, which is why I decided to write this review. Whether the school is right for an expat would depend on the expat. Obviously this one is not appropriate for someone wanting a monolingual education, but there were a number of sabbatical families at the school only for a year and they mostly found it a positive experience.. I visited several of the international schools in Tokyo myself and I thought this one was by far the most interesting and innovative. It depends on what one wants," remarked one expat living in Tokyo with children attending New International School of Japan.

"I would advise contacting the school as early as possible to ensure a place for next years calender year," said one expat in Yokohama with children at St. Maur International School.
