20-1 Schooling system in Japan
Compulsory education in Japan is for nine years which consists of six-year elementary school with entering age of six and three-year junior high school with entering age of twelve.
Education for children of foreign nationals is not compulsory, but they can go to elementary school and junior high school, if they want to learn there.
It depends on the location of your home which schools your children should enter. Day nurseries and kindergartens are available, if you want to send your preschool children.
