Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does AIS use the free childcare policy system?: A: Does AIS use the free childcare policy system? Yes, Aichi International School is certified as an unlicensed childcare facility that meets the standards set by the national and Nagoya city governments, so it is eligible to take advantage of the “free early childhood education and childcare” program.
Q: Is there public transport available close to AIS?: A: Yes, there is a bus stop just a five-minute walk from the school, and Hoshigaoka train station on the Higashiyama subway line is only a ten-minute walk. Some of our elementary school children also use bicycles to get to AIS.
Q: Can AIS families easily transition to public or private Japanese schools after finishing at AIS?: A: Yes, many of our elementary school families continue their education at local public schools after AIS. Before starting at AIS, these families coordinate with their local school to ensure their child remains part of the public school system while attending AIS. This arrangement makes it easy for students to transition smoothly back into a Japanese public or private school if needed, ensuring a seamless educational journey. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to contact us at 052-788-2255 or admin@aisnagoya.net.
