Question 1

What is the Japanese curriculum?

Accepted Answer

The Japanese curriculum sets out a structured progression with its own philosophy of teaching, its own style of assessment and its own leaving qualifications. It defines what is taught at each stage and how learning is examined, which in turn shapes the universities and pathways open to your child afterwards. Understanding how it works is the first step in judging whether it suits your child's learning style and goals.

Question 2

What stages does the Japanese curriculum cover?

Accepted Answer

The Japanese curriculum spans the early years through to the upper stages, with each phase building deliberately on the one before. Because schools sometimes offer only part of that range, checking which stages a particular school covers ensures it can carry your child through without an unplanned move part-way.

Question 3

Who is the Japanese curriculum best suited to?

Accepted Answer

The Japanese curriculum tends to suit families who value its particular balance of breadth and specialisation and who have a sense of where their child may study next. It is worth weighing how its assessment style fits your child's strengths, and how easily they could transfer in or out if your plans change. Comparing it against the other curricula on your shortlist is the clearest way to decide.

Question 4

Which cities offer Japanese curriculum schools?

Accepted Answer

Schools following the Japanese curriculum can be found across several cities and neighbourhoods. Filtering by location and stage narrows the list to the schools that are genuinely practical for your family, so you are comparing options you could realistically reach each day.
