What are the schools in Japan like?
When we asked about the schools in Japan, they said...
"Definately a great school, if we were going back to Japan, I would certainly to back to BST>," explained one expat living in Shibuya, Japan.
"Visit first if possible, and any other school you may be interested in. I thought the previous reviewer was extremely unfair to the school and did not even care to get the facts straight, which is why I decided to write this review. Whether the school is right for an expat would depend on the expat. Obviously this one is not appropriate for someone wanting a monolingual education, but there were a number of sabbatical families at the school only for a year and they mostly found it a positive experience.. I visited several of the international schools in Tokyo myself and I thought this one was by far the most interesting and innovative. It depends on what one wants," said one parent with children at New International School of Japan in Tokyo.
