The pandemic has made us look for alternatives to continue what’s essential, and that includes school education too. That is why schools in Tokyo have now started online admissions—a hassle-free and paperless process wherein parents can register for their child’s admission without a physical visit to the school. If you are trying for your child’s admission to a Tokyo-based school, here are a few tips you should know.
- Do your research
Shortlist a few schools and check eligibility criteria, testimonials about teachers, infrastructure, fees, schedules, student performances, extra-curricular activities, etc. When parents go for admissions offline, they might get to interact with other parents or even students to assess the quality of a school. However, it is not a wise decision amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. Testimonials and inquiries are your best options in this scenario.
- E-Visit the School
Top international schools in Tokyo arrange online campus tours for parents and prospective students. It is a quick and easy way to check the facilities and infrastructure at school. Ensure that your internet connection is stable when you visit a school virtually.
- Keep Digital Copies of the Required Documents Ready
Once you have finalized a school, it is time to fill the admission form. Besides basic details, you may need to upload a few documents (depending upon the standard). Therefore, know the documents to be uploaded beforehand and prepare digital copies. It ensures a smooth and glitch-free admission process online.
