Homeschooling is not done in Japan.

I've never heard of it in Japan. Schooling is too important to have your mum teach you. It's all about getting the best grades so you can go to the schools of choice. By the time you reach high school this is very important because it will decide which college you can go to/

We do not have homeschooling in Japan.

How is grading done in schools in Japan
How is grading done in schools in Japan? ?
I'm not quite sure I understand it even though I did some research on it. Some sites say it's just the usual grading like 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, but isn't there another way of saying it? I remember seeing somewhere that someone made a statement about how 2-3 means 11th grade. Sorry if this question is confusing, but I didn't know how to phrase it without getting the wrong thing.

Elementary or primary school in Japan is grades 1 through 6, when children are about 7 to 12 years old. Middle or junior high school is three years, from about 13 to 15 years old. When asked their grade in Japanese the students will give an abbreviated answer that still makes it clear what grade level they're at. The confusion starts when they answer in English, in a situation where an American teenager would say, "I'm in 8th grade," a Japanese student in the same grade is likely to say, "I'm in the third grade," to mean the third year of middle school. High school in Japan is also three years, from about 16 to 18 years old. High school students are also likely to confusingly say they're in the first, second or third grade instead of 10th, 11th or 12th.

I would just like to say that the high school life in Japan is very different from the animes you're watching. I'm just saying :"> Anyway, apply for a foreign exchange student program for international schools.
2 :
High school in Japan isn't going to be 1/10 as much fun as you think it is, especially for a foreigner. However, you can look up exchange programs like AFS or YFU and try to study for a year or a semester abroad. You can also try applying to international high schools in Japan, however I wouldn't do that until you were absolutely sure you wanted to spend your entire high school in Japan. If anything, I'd do the exchange year first, and then if you really liked it, try applying to an international school.

Umm, you can join a student exchange program. There are mostly from 3 months up to a year. Try looking on the internet. My school is an all girls school but this is the name: nagoya women's university high school, or you can try seirinkan high school, nanzan high school. Although these schools are located in Nagoya. I agree, they are not like in animes. And no, they don't have ridiculously short skirts! Most of the school uniforms have their skirts an inch below the knee. Ugh, believe me, it's long, not mini! What we do is we fold it once or in my case, twice, since I'm short. Then we use a belt to keep it in place. This is the kind of belt we use: http://www.school-item.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dsc_0769.jpg Most schools wear loafers or mary janes. And the socks are either black or navy blue. The loose white socks were a trend especially for gyal-kei fashion. But they are not allowed at school. When I was in my first year, we were scolded for our skirts, but as we gradually progress to the next year, the teachers don't say anything anymore. But we still try to make our skirts longer on graduations or when we go to take exams at colleges. I was in an all girls school by the way, so I don't know much about boys and girls school...
