    November 14, 2026 （ Sat ） ・ 15 （ Sun ） New York Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students Confirmed ！ 12 Participating Schools ！

    For students living abroad who are returning to Japan, taking the entrance exams for returning students held in Japan requires them to return to Japan temporarily multiple times to align with the exam schedules of their desired schools, and managing their health due to the effects of jet lag poses a significant burden.

    To address these challenges, the first “New York Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students” was launched in November 2024. It received positive feedback from participants, who commented, “It was great to be able to take exams at multiple schools without having to return to Japan,” leading to the second edition being held the following year in 2025. Ten schools participated, and in addition to the Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students, school information sessions and consultation sessions were held simultaneously.

    For this third edition, the number of participating schools has expanded to 12, and the Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students will be held with an even more comprehensive program. We invite all prospective students currently living abroad to participate in this unprecedented new initiative.

    Please check the websites of each participating school for details regarding applications.

    3rd Online Preschoolers’ MeetUp

    [Theme] Potty Training

    [Date and Time] October 13 (Tue) 9:30 AM ～ – 10:30 AM

    [Location] Online

    Click here for the registration form → https://forms.gle/ tDj6CbZtWQFHi54h9

    Registration closes on October 11 （ ）.

    We will email the Zoom ID for the event to registered participants by the day before the event.

    Once children turn one, their activity levels increase, leading to more opportunities for social interaction beyond time spent solely with family. For this reason, this is also said to be a time when parents may experience new concerns and worries regarding their child’s growth and development.

    This session will focus on “potty training.”

    In both Japan and the United States, parents are often advised to have their children potty-trained during the day—by the age of 2 or 3—before they start preschool. The key points to observe differ slightly between daytime and nighttime potty training. This is also a topic that can easily lead to tension in your relationship with your child. Precisely because it’s such a sensitive topic, why not discuss it online? ？

    While this session is aimed at parents of children ages 1–5, expectant mothers, parents of infants ・, and parents of elementary school students are also welcome to participate. We also warmly invite those involved in parenting support to join us.
