Title: Japanese Public Elementary School Life and International School Life: How Do They Compare?

Description:
Parents with children approaching school age face many important decisions about their children's education. The first of these is often whether to send their child to the local Japanese school or to an international school. The speaker has children in both kinds of schools and will discuss the daily life and explain differences in the teaching approach and curriculum content. After the presentation, there will be a barbecue. The BBQ cost is \2000 per person. Contact David Heywood heywood@smile.ocn.ne.jp if you want to join the BBQ. Bring your kids―they can play during the meeting (we will provide supervision).
