Education: for Japanese-national children, a non-Article-1 international school does not meet the schooling duty

MEXT's schooling Q&A says Japanese law has no special rule for international schools; some are recognised as Article 1 schools, but many are 'miscellaneous' schools or unlicensed. Sending a Japanese-national child to a non-Article-1 international school does not fulfil the legal schooling duty, and finishing such a school's elementary section does not allow entry to a Japanese junior high (Article 1 school). Ask the local board of education in Okinawa how this applies to foreign-national children. As of 2026-11-01 our directory lists 6 schools here.

• No special legal rule for international schools
• Article 1, miscellaneous and unlicensed schools all exist
• Schooling duty applies to Japanese-national children
