You can attend. The school is geared towards for children from English speaking families and Japanese students. The majority of students are from corporate families on assignment in Japan. There is an entrance exam for all prospective students. They need to make sure that your English skills are proficient enough to attend the school. Japanese kids who lived outside of Japan for a number of years also attend the school. The school is certified by the Western Association of Schools. This means that students who attend will receive the same quality education as back in the USA. I sent my sons to that school. The cost of the school is quite high, about $9000 per year for school fees only. Most have corporate benefit packages that pay for a large chunk of the fees. There is no dorm since all who attend already live in Tokyo with their families.

You can attend BUT "All students must live with at least one of their parents in or very near Tokyo. ASIJ does not have boarding facilities. We are not able to consider proposals for alternative living arrangements." Check out the ASIJ Admissions page for more information: http://community.asij.ac.jp/Page.aspx?pid=353 I also might add, Hokkaido International School and Canadian Academy both provide dorm facilities. - Canadian Academy is located in southern Japan in the city of Kobe. CA is the 3rd biggest International School in Japan - 1. ASIJ (enrollment around 1600) 2. St. Mary's International School (all boys Catholic school w/ enrollment around 900 3. Canadian Academy (725) - http://www.canacad.ac.jp/index.cfm - Hokkaido International School - is a smaller international school which is located in Hokkaido http://his.ac.jp/
