Elementary and Junior High Schools
In Japan it is mandatory for all children to attend elementary school for six years and junior high school for three years.  All classes are taught in Japanese.  No tuition fees are charged for schools run by the city, however schools do charge for the lunches and teaching aids provided by the schools.  To enroll, visit the Resident Registration Section (Foreign Resident Registration) in your local Ward Office, with your child's Foreign Registration Card and complete the necessary procedures.

If you wish to send your children to an international school, national or private school, apply directly at the school of your choice.
