I am going to move to Japan to go to school in Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto. What options do I have
I am going to move to Japan to go to school in Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto. What options do I have?
I am an American and my girlfriend is Japanese. She might be moving to Japan and I want to know what my options are because I want to move with her. I have a 4.0 GPA with about 40 U.S. college credits. I can very likely get into UCLA because I have preferred admission　(TAP). I do not know if I should try to study abroad in Kyoto University through UCLA, or if I have any other options. I do not speak Japanese, but I am learning; I want to take classes in English. Should I try to transfer to Japanese college, or should I just go through UCLA and spend a year abroad? I do not know if Japanese college will require a SAT or ACT, because UCLA does not and I have not studied for them. I also have bad high school grades, so I do not know if I apply to Japanese universities if that matters. Please any advice, help, suggestions, or if anyone knows colleges that accept English speaking students in Kobe, Osaka, or Kyoto please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry I don't have specifics but you can also try and get info on Doshisha Univ and maybe Ritsumeikan Univ as well. Since I haven't gone to any of these schools for college I can't exactly tell you for sure, but most colleges in Japan may have a few classes that take place in English, but 85% of the classes are held in Japanese. I think the best way for you is to enroll into UCLA and go to Japan as an exchange student to study abroad for a year. I know that Sophia university (Jochi Univ) in Tokyo and also ICU in Tokyo have many classes (if not all classes depending on the department and faculty) that are taught in English. Temple Univ. in Tokyo is an American Univ that has a campus in Japan. http://www.tuj.ac.jp/newsite/main/index.html Here's some websites you can use. Kyoto Uni http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/index-e.html Doshisha Uni http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english/ Ritsumeikan Uni. http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english/ Good Luck!

I think it depends on your plan for the future. If you are thinking of living, working, and marrying in Japan, be a transfer student to Japanese university (language does not matter, you must study Japanese anyway). If not, enter UCLA and be an exchange student to study in Japan for a year or so. By all means, UCLA comes first, your options will come after that, even if you are not sure about what to do after graduating university. Life is long. Take your choices carefully and be well prepared. Good luck to you, son.

What is homeschooling like in Japan? Please read description?

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 have a dream to experience the high school life in japan, how do i do this? Would appreciate someone to list all the possible ways i could do this

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...

At the end of WWII the Japanese school system took on some characteristics of the American system with six years elementary school three years junior high school and three years high school. The Japanese school year starts in April and consists of three terms, separated by short holidays in spring and winter, and a one month long summer break. During the break many students are working toward better positioning by taking special classes.

To answer your last question: There is a severe problem with bullying in Japanese schools in recent years. Basically, what happens is that one or a few individuals who have been identified as "different" in some way from the others are ganged up on mercilessly and ceaselessly by nearly everyone else, and this abuse goes more or less unchecked by teachers/staff. This has led increasingly to suicides and even murder.
5 :
i'm assuming you want to know about public schools. elementary school is from 1st to 6th grade, middle school is called mid-1st or chuuichi (7th gr.) mid-2nd or chuuni (8th gr.) and mid-3rd or chuusan (9th gr.) and there's three years in high school which are high-1st kouichi (10th gr.) high-2nd kouni (11th gr.) high-3rd kousan(12th gr.) schools (and first day at work) starts on april 1st. i think it ends like sometime in march. mid-march, maybe. first quarter is until the beginnign of summer vacation, and 2nd quarter begins after summer vacation. vacations are really short and if you take a sport you will have to go to practice every day even in the summer. school usually starts at like 8:00? 8:30? til like 3 but they have clubs and sports after that. once you choose a sport, you can't change it and you have to stick to that sport the whole year and for the whole time you are in middle or high school yes usually, there are bullies and gangs / cliques because that's the custom in japan. i don't really know why. uniforms are required in middle and high school, and elementary schools too if it's private. there's two uniforms, one for summer and one for winter but it's still too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. public schools usually don't have much AC or heaters. girls uniforms usually are a sailor's suit's top with a scarf tied under the flap and a pleated skirt. some schools have stupid rules about no hair touching the stripes on the flap (your hair has to be short or tied up i think) but most schools are easy about that. no make up or jewlery is allowed, although many break that rule. skirts are supposed to touch the floor when you kneel, but of course, no one follows that rule! hope that helped
