How can I bring my niece over from Japan to the US to go to high school?
My wife's sister is having financial problems, and we would like to bring one of her daughters here to finish school. I see plenty of Japanese students here for college, but wonder if its legal to bring one over to study in high school. What kind of visa would it require?

Just make sure she speaks English. There was this Japanese girl in my high school who just absolutely hated her life in there. So did many other people, but I especially sympathized with her.

What are some good programs for middle school students to go to for studying aboard in Japan
What are some good programs for middle school students to go to for studying aboard in Japan?
Going to Japan has always been my dream. I don't want any answers that tell me that middle schoolers aren't emotionally mature enough to handle student exchange.

I only know of a program that goes to places for around 20 days in the summer. It is called People to People Student Ambassadors: http://www.peopletopeople.com/ourprograms/sap/pages/default.aspx Here is the link to their Asian trips: http://www.peopletopeople.com/OurPrograms/Pages/StudentItineraries.aspx?region=Asia I might be going to Australia for 17 days next summer. My friend went to Europe through this program and said it was the best time of her life!

I think this question would be better placed in the Japan category. Are you trying to ask "how do children in Japan go to school"? In general, kids in preschool (nursery school) take school buses or their parents take them to preschool on foot, by bicycles, or by cars. Their school buses are very cute! Check out the URL below! http://www.syatai.jp/products/charabus/index.html Most elementary school children walk to and from school by themselves or in a small group of children. Junior High School students go to school on foot or by bicycles. High School students go to school on foot, by bicycles, or by public transportation depending on the distance from home to school. http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/japan/schools/q5.html I am not sure about your second question either, but they go to school to learn how to read and write, as well as how to "think." Also, they make friends and learn social skills at school. Sorry if I did not get your question right.

Well, I think chblan7 did a good job of deciphering and answering your questions. School kids in Japan are like their counterparts in other countries. They go there to learn.

I need to move to Japan
I need to move to Japan?
I wan't you to help me think of a way to let my perents let me finish high school in Japan. We don't have much money so it would be a public school. I really need help! Well here are some reasons... 1. a "D" means you pass the grade... 2. Japan has a much better education system then we do... 3. America is well to put it straight to everyone a kinda stupid country. Ohh yeah and it has been about 2 years since I wanted to move there this has been going on for a long time! I could make it since I scored in the 99th percentile on our national exam. So I could most likely get above the 80th percentile there. JUST TELL ME HOW TO CONVINCE THEM (caps lock on sry) There is no girl. America isn't the place I wan't to finish high school. I would hate to have to go through the rest of my life knowing that I finished high school in a country where a "D" is a passing grade...

I went through the exact same thing oddly. You don't NEED to move to Japan. The desire will fade in a month or two, trust me.
2 :
If you don't have enough money, how are you going to get to school in Japan in the first place? Why? Is there a reason. That's a big move to take... Why Japan? Why move at all? You ened to ask yourself every question possible and then decide. Even then, there is no convincing your parents, you have to let y our parents decide what's best for you... because they know better!
3 :
The cost of living in Japan is a whole lot higher than it is in the US. The average American couldn't afford to study in Japan. Believe me, you don't want to have to compete with the Japanese kids in the area of scholastic achievement. .....and between you and me, ...... they don't really like Americans over there.

I can't help because i'm really stupid sorry.

it will pass, your a teenager. i'm 23 years old and would love to live in japan. but not enough money buddy. doubr your parents are gonna pay for your rent,food,etc...it's pretty expensive there. dude you need to get over it and stop being so selfish. just finish high school go to college and you'll be fine. no need to drain your parents of all thier money. they have more important things to do then spoil your lame butt.

What is the reason you want to move to Japan?? You havnet mentioned why you think it is so great esp if you have thought it was great for over 2 yrs as you said... Is it a girl? An internet romance? It is expensive. You are probably under age, so would need supervision of some kind. Do you know the language? How would you get by day to day? Do you know anyone there? Would you be all alone thousands of miles from home? Where would you intend on staying? It sounds to me like the only way you can go is to get a scholarship of some kind or one of those exchange programs or something similar. That way you end up with most of the fees paid for you and a family to live with and support you. I would NEVER let my daughter go and study in Japan... (mind you she is only 5 now! - but - at least I'm thinking ahead huh!!) Look, I reckon, if there is no girl involved here (if there is she should come to you) then you should wait... Consider this, you finish school in the US, (u say ur real smart already) you attend college or uni, get some qualifications, save some money, and then when you have some cash, some life experience, and some qualifications behind you (and be a decent age to be able to deal with stuff) then you can go to Japan and have the time of your life! I know its not what you wanted to hear but if you wait and do it right it will work out great,...if you push this and go to soon, it will not be anywhere near as fullfilling as it should be for you. trust me, and trust your parents. If it were possible, reasonable, logical and affordable they may consider it but it doesnt seem to be right now, not for you anyway. Set a goal and work towards it, when you come of age (how old r u now?) you will realise how much is involved. I promise the experience will be much more rewarding is you do it properly, even if that means wait 5 years, then you could even get a job over there and live there for a year or however long.' Good luck with it all, listen to your parents, and always think of all the consequences, dont be too stubborn.
