Im moving to japan but my daughter doesnt know the language?

Question:


I'm 38 and live in England. i have recently been given the chance to work in Japan and am willing to go. My daughter is up for it too but she doesn't know the language. She is 14 and i was just wondering if their was some school for English students who don't know the language or anything. any information would be great thanks :D

Answer:


Its called an International School. There are tons of them. Once you know where you are going, you can ask here or search online and I am sure you won't have any trouble finding one.

International Schools are primarily for people who are in your situation, though some Japanese will choose to send their children there so that they will get better at English. They run K-12 all in English. Most will teach Japanese as a class so that students can survive and maybe even get into college in Japan. I am sure she will be fine. It might be hard not being able to understand everything at first but she will probably be able to take to the language very quickly.
