Enrollment in Elementary and Middle Schools for International Residents
- Children of foreign nationality are not obliged to attend school by law. Accordingly, only when you apply for enrollment of your children in a Hiroshima municipal elementary school will an Enrollment Notice for Elementary School be sent to you.
- Regarding application for enrollment in Hiroshima municipal elementary schools in the middle of August, the Hiroshima Municipal Board of Education sends an Enrollment Application Form for School to guardians whose children (registered as a resident of Hiroshima City) will reach elementary school age in the following academic year. If you fill out this form and submit it to the Citizens Affairs Division of Ward Offices or Branch Offices, or the School Affairs Division of the Hiroshima Municipal Board of Education by the end of September, a Notification Card for School Entry Health Examination and an Enrollment Notice for Elementary School will be sent to you at the beginning of October and at the end of January of the following year, respectively.
Even if an Enrollment Application Form for School is not submitted by the designated deadline, or even if children of foreign nationality enter Japan or enter a new school after September, enrollment in Hiroshima municipal elementary schools is permissible if an Enrollment Application Form for School is submitted to the Citizens Affairs Division of Ward Offices or Branch Offices, or the School Affairs Division of the Hiroshima Municipal Board of Education.
- When your children have already attended a Hiroshima municipal elementary school and transfer to another school due to moving within Hiroshima City, you do not need to submit an Enrollment Application Form for School again. However, when your children transfer to a Hiroshima municipal elementary school due to moving from another municipality, you are required to submit an Enrollment Application Form for School to the Citizens Affairs Division of Ward Offices or Branch Offices when you file a Moving-in Notification.
- If you already submitted an Enrollment Application Form for School for your children of foreign nationality when they entered or transferred to a Hiroshima municipal elementary school, you do not need to take additional procedures when they go on to a Hiroshima municipal junior high school.
- If your children enter a Hiroshima municipal junior high school, you need to submit an Enrollment Application Form for School to the Citizens Affairs Division of Ward Offices or Branch Offices.
