It has been a big year for international education in Japan. Famed British schools such as Harrow, Rugby School and Malvern College are in various stages of entering the market, with more than 3,000 new student slots to be opening up over the next few years – the biggest expansion in international education in the country since 2018.
Keen to hear an on-the-ground view from professional British educators?
Join us for a special event “British Education in Japan – A Year in Review”, taking place on the afternoon of Saturday 26 November, at the Tokyo Edition, when Heads of British schools in Tokyo run by the CEA Group will discuss what Japanese media has dubbed the “British Invasion” – the most significant cultural phenomenon to move across the pond since The Beatles – and share views on developments and demographics in their school communities over the past 12 months.
