Special Cases: Schools Covering Multiple Education Levels

Some countries use different education systems than Japan. If your school covered multiple educational stages, please use the following rules when entering your education history.

If you attended a school from ages 7–13→ Enter this school in the Primary School section.

If you did not attend a separate junior high school, check “Not Applicable” for the Junior High School section.

If you attended a school from ages 13–18→ Enter this school in the High School section.

Case 2: Integrated Primary and Junior High School

If one school covered both primary and junior high education, you may enter it in either the Primary School or Junior High School section.

For the section you do not use, check “Not Applicable.”

Case 3: Integrated Junior High and High School / Primary, Junior High and High School

If one school covered high school-level education, it must be entered in the High School section.

For any unused sections (Primary School and/or Junior High School), check “Not Applicable.”

Why is this necessary?

Japanese immigration applications require applicants to report their highest level of education. If your school included high school-level education, it is important that this information is reflected in the High School section.

What does “Not Applicable” mean?

Checking “Not Applicable” confirms that you reviewed the section and that there is no separate school to report. Leaving a section blank may cause confusion during the review process.
