Seamless Academic Transition

Seamless Academic Transition

Transitioning from a local school system to an international school can present unique challenges, equally, moving from a different international system can be daunting. 

At Gordonstoun Japan, we understand this and we hope to provide a comprehensive admissions support. Staff will be happy to talk through the requirements for you child, but they may include:

  • A specialised EAL programme to help your son or daughter adapt quickly to English-medium instruction
  • Academic compatibility will be discussed with experienced teaching staff through the process of admission
  • Holistic evaluation: No prior experience in an international curriculum is required. We evaluate the whole child - their character, curiosity, and potential.

The Mid-Year Transfer Pathway

Celebrate your Grade 6 or Grade 9 graduation in March and transition seamlessly to Gordonstoun Japan from the Summer Term. 

This specialized pathway is tailored specifically for Year 7 and Year 10 candidates. Instead of enrolling in another secondary school for only the brief April-to-July term, students can use this time to fast-track their English language skills and adapt to our British curriculum. It provides the ideal launchpad for success before full immersion.
