Transfer for Secondary school

At GKA, 70% of the instruction is given in English. Thus, our students’ English abilities get higher as they advance to the higher grade. For this reason, transfer students are expected to be well prepared for classes taught in English. Also, as the instructions for Japanese Language Arts and a part of Social Studies are in Japanese, transfer students are also expected to be fluent in Japanese. Please check out the information below regarding qualifications for transfer students.

※New grade 1 students are required to take an entrance examination in the fall prior to the April start of school. Entrance into the junior high and senior high school is by entrance examinations and interviews for transfer students only.

Qualifications

1. Minimum TOEFL Jr. score of 700 for junior high applicants or minimum score of 780 for senior high school applicans.　（Or equivalent English language skills.）
2. For students whose mother ton mother tongue is not Japanese, Japanese Language Proficiency Test N3 equivalent 
3. As a policy, students’ commuting time should be about 1 hour from their home to school when they are admitted.
