Today I went to International School Fair at Iidabashi.

There are certain things I noticed:

1) There are so many international schools emerging in last few years.

2) surprise to see Chuo-ku is starting an international school.  I thought was a joke when Muranaka Sensei who introduced me to CHIST asked to find teachers. I did not response till Mr. Lambakard, an colleague from Aoyama Gakuin helped the Sensei. Learn a lesson: always be friendly and help who asked you for a hand. 

3) Rugby School is a real serious school with meeting their standard.

Felt what my friend Kermit had said: "fame and money(rich)"society/class in the world.                Schools like British class  society: 1) Those who are there, 2) Those who want to be there and 3)Those who cannot be there.

This Rugby School is #1 and for #1: why? Usually teachers are easy to to detect: they are with tired clothes and look very kind: I saw them in St. Maur's, Horizon, or any other schools including regular Japanese schools, but Rugby School young teacher is someone you see in the British Boarding Schools.

4) I don't know why regular Japanese international schools like ICU , Meikei, Kosei, are participating.

5) I had a chance to speak to New International school principal and founder, Mr. Parr. He was the principal of Aoba under Mrs. Doi who started company owned international school, now we see all over.  Mr. Parr, a graduate of Brown University supports strongly non-graded and bilingual education. Lucky thing is most of the visitors don't know what is an education, so we had ample of time talking to him.

6) I saw "International High School" booth and asked them who are attending their school.

Most of them are students from neighboring countries and target is not their university: Nagoya Shouka Daigaku but other Japanese universities who are far cheaper and have good education. This is what Mr. Ito, Keiou Gijuku Jukuchou pointed that private universities have raised their tuitions but national or public universities are not. Those universities are the target of this business and seems to be growing for past ten years, including Musasshino Daigaku has over 50% foreign students and Japanese government is paying about 50% of their tuition.
