No idea what a 'wanna' is but you need to ask this question in Japanese on the Japanese section of the site. Be sure to include details like your present legal status in Japan. I cannot imagine that there is such a thing as a public boarding school and you are definitely too young to be living away from home. Explain your issue and ask them for suggestions.

National technology colleges provide the industrial and technical education of 5 years education equivalent to the composition of the high school and the college. Most of them have dorms and accept foreign students: http://www.kosen-k.go.jp/english/index.html

Where can I find a list of boarding schools for Europe and Australia

Where can I find a list of boarding schools for Europe and Australia?
I'm going to be a High school student, and I'd like to find a boarding school willing to accept me. The countries are Italy preferably Milan, France, England and Australia. I want the school to be fun at the same time and not so uptight, because that's the whole reason I want to go to boarding school. To have fun, learn about a culture, make friends and at the same time have a learning experience. And also if possible a list of programs where I can participate in High school classes and learn in the same countries listed above during the months of April to May.

There are probably hundreds of boardingschools in Tokyo, so I can't have responsibility to choose some of them for you. It depends on what you want to do or where you want to live. http://www.tokyoshigaku.com/search/list.php?F=Junior http://ten.tokyo-shoseki.co.jp/link/schools/tokyo1.htm#tyuugaku東京都 http://www.manavinet.com/sansaku/sansaku_kantou.html There websites have lists of schools in Tokyo. I don't know if you understand Japanese, but if you're planning to go to school in Japan, you should be able to. If you want to join a club, then you can search for the famous schools for the club. When I decided to go to school in Canada, I went to talk to some agents for the students who want to study abroad. The agent gave me opporturnity to talk to some teachers actually from where I wanted go, and they told me good schools. http://www.t-hotline.jp/cyugaku_jyuken/gakkou2007.6-2.html This website seems to offer students opporturnities to talk to people from schools, which I think is a good idea to go. There should be more and more, if you search for them. I know it's hard to choose school...good luck :)

There aren't many boarding schools in or around Tokyo, especially at junior high school level, and in most if not all of them classes are taught in Japanese. Perhaps you can elaborate why you want to go to a boarding school in Japan? Because frankly, when a teenager (I presume you are) wants to go to a boarding school abroad, grownups like me have to wonder if he/she knows what he/she's getting into...

This is what I understand about Australia. Their accent is so annoying. I like accents that people have from spanish cultures and accents from Europe but Australian accents are so annoying.

Never been there, but met a good few of it's inhabitants ( or parolees). Great blokes, always ready for a beer and a laugh (that includes the women). Can take a joke - like they are actually suave and sophisticated. Always look embarrassed when singing their National Anthem, which is not surprising when you think about it. Big country, hot. Lots of desert and forests. Strange animals. A country I would love to visit. You appear to have a love of life I rather admire.

If I were to be a exchange student to japan, how would I do my school work

If I were to be a exchange student to japan, how would I do my school work?
I've been dreaming of it for a very long time, to be in japan as a student. Yesterday it hit me, if I don't know much japanese-how can I be a true student if I cannot do the work. I was wondering how they may treat this issue or are you required to be able to understand everything they teach?

Basically - you don't. Most exchange students don't get any credit for their year abroad, simply because they aren't able the classes at all at first, and because even at the end, it's unlikely their grades would be as good as at home in academic classes. No one expects exchangers to understand, and what you are expected to do will vary -- for example, if you take English classes, you'll probably be expected to do the work/help the others (if it's very simple). In Art and P.E., you'll be expected to be like a normal kid, although you will be forgiven for not understanding the instructions. In classes like Biology and History, basically you won't be expected to do a thing at first, although you should make an effort when you can (for example, if you understand the essay topic and understand it in English, you could draw a couple cartoons about it. Like if you were studying WWII, you probbaly couldn't write an essay, but you could manage a simple political cartoon that expresses you understand the topic). My first day of Biology (I'm an exchange student in Germany), we were talking about swine flu... I didn't speak any German, but I turned in a drawing of a sick pig and a farmer running away to show that I at least figured out the topic of the lesson.)
