1．The Japanese School System

The difference between Elementary schools, Junior high schools and High schools

Elementary school to junior high school in Japan is a compulsory education. On the other hand, high school is not a compulsory education, when grades are not satisfactory, or the number of absent days exceeded the days of the required absences, the student will not be promoted or graduate.

After graduating from high school…

Students can take an entrance examination to enter a university, junior college or vocational school and so on. It is easier to find a job if you graduated high school. During 3 years in high school, it is important to get some qualification and think about your aptitude / ability.

（３）Other Expenses

＊Club activity Fee

＊School trip Fee

Almost all the public & private high schools, when students in the 2nd or 3rd grade, students join the school trip. It costs around 100,000 to 150,000 yen.

＊Transportation Fee

（４）In case of financial problem with the school expenses/payment

＊About Scholarship

This is a loan system for high school students who have a desire to study have a financial problem for their education.

When it comes to a scholarship, there are many types of scholarships like governmental ones or private ones. In addition, when the students get a job, some scholarships are required to be refunded and some are not. Besides, scholarship screening is based on the students’ academic score or performance and family income. In order to apply students need to prepare several papers. Those who are interested will seek advice from the junior high school teachers or high school teachers once you enter.

４． Entrance Examination In order to enter the high school students have to take an entrance examination. We call this “Nyugaku-sha senbatsu”or “Nyu-shi”. There is a rule of taking this examination.

【Public high school School district（Gakku）】

Public high schools (General,Integrated course) have school districts. It is preferable for students to choose the high schools

which are in the school district where students live.(In addition, it is easier for students to pass an examination.) However,

students can take an examination for the school which is not located inside students’ school districts. On the other hand, there is

no regulation of school districts for the vocational course in public high school and part-time high school.（See page 9 ⇒）

When students join some club activities students pay for such as uniforms, game fees, and so on by themselves.

If the student is from a remote area they can use the public transportation. If a student will use a train to go to school, he/she needs to get a commuter’s pass.

Pg.6

（１）The types of Entrance Examination

For both public and private high school there are 2 types of entrance examinations.

＊ When you want to take the Returnee Student / Student from overseas special Examination please seek advice from your homeroom teacher.

＊When students have an impressive record of achievement on sports or academic students may have an opportunity to take a scholarship examination.
