The Japan Times Boarding & International School Day 2025
The Japan Times is excited to announce the second Boarding & International School Day, on Sunday, April 20, 2025. Boarding and international schools in Japan have been carving out new educational paths for students in recent years. They can provide an internationally enriched environment from an early age amid the growing globalization of Japanese society. These schools offer diverse curricula and aim to develop students’ individuality and talents, becoming some of the most important options for parents and students who want to prioritize this perspective.
Boarding & International School Day 2025 will feature booths from seven Japanese boarding schools and a panel discussion with representatives from the exhibiting schools. The keynote speech will be delivered by Michael Rob Gray, former principal of Institut Le Rosey, a boarding school in Switzerland. The Japan Times looks forward to welcoming prospective parents and students as well as the representatives from the featured schools.
