Special Needs schools and information
International School – a Triple A investment in — your child’s and — Japan’s future
Choosing a school in Japan for your kids (Surviving in Japan)
To Whom it May Concern,
I am looking for a day care in Osaka, preferably in Nishi-ku that caters to 5-6 months olds and offers a good mix of Japanese and English. Our child is an American citizen, so an international school would be great, but we also would like her to have exposure to Japanese culture and education.
I would also like to know more about your programs for teaching left and right brain. Is this home schooling only or do you have a facility where I could send my daughter to?
Thanks,
Tina
Thank you for the concise description of Kyoto International University & KIU Academy. A small update that you may want to consider including is that we also have an elementary school. Indeed, we have been blessed by meeting the educational needs of the internationally oriented Japanese community, the Returnee community and the Multi-cultural community. Again, thank you for the great service your website is providing.
