Abstract

In fifteen short articles, parents of bilingual children living in Japan write about their personal experiences with the different types of educational options they have chosen for their children from pre-school through college.

These options include Japanese public schools, international schools, alternative schools, home schooling and sending children to school abroad.

There are also articles about how to supplement regular schooling at home, in play groups, and by using the Internet. The final article describes applying to an American college from Japan.
