Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Are extracurricular activities required?
A. Many junior high schools recommend this, but as a general rule it is optional. In high school you have complete freedom. At elementary school, club activities (separate from club activities) are held during class hours.
Q. Can foreign children join the club?
A. Yes, nationality doesn't matter. Team sports also provide a good Japanese environment. However, the hierarchical relationships and the "kiai" culture can be confusing, so please explain in advance.
Q. How much is the monthly fee for lessons?
A. Piano/English conversation 7,000-12,000 yen, swimming 6,000-10,000 yen, abacus 5,000-8,000 yen, soccer/baseball school 8,000-15,000 yen.
Q. Is it possible to balance club activities and studies?
A. Many students are able to balance both. However, schools with strong athletic clubs have practice for 3 to 4 hours on weekdays and 6 to 8 hours on weekends, so it is necessary to find ways to find time to study.
Q. Can I be prevented from leaving?
A. You may be discouraged by your advisors or seniors, but as long as you have a strong will, there is no problem. Carefully explain your reasons for studying or health.
