My little girl was 5 when she joined me in Japan
I was really troubled before they came ... looking here and there for International schools but international schools are quite expensive in Japan from $1,000 per month depending on where you live in japan.

But Japan has all those things figured out. They gave my daughter special teacher to reach her, also a weekly Japanese teaching class with other international students like her. Now she reads and write also speak Japanese flouently .

Children will always find their level. Nothing to worry about.
