Senior High School

More than 98% of Japanese students continue on to study at senior high schools.
An entrance exam is required to attend senior high school, although there are some schools that accept enrollment based on recommendation (if a child has not graduated from junior high school in Japan but can prove to possess the same level of academic ability, then such a child may take the senior high school entrance exam).

There are public (national, prefectural and municipal) senior high schools and private senior high schools. These schools differ in terms of curriculum, offered course of study (general, industrial, commercial or agricultural, or integrated), as well as class time (full-time, part-time [day or evening], correspondence, etc.).
For information about municipal senior high schools, contact the Supervisory Division II of the Board of Education (Tel: 082-504-2704).
