Is it a vocational school? There is surely a lot of schools without a student dormitory. In most cases, there are one-room apartments near a school. Do you have the information about the matter? I can examine living environment in sites if I understand the name and address of the school. If there is a rooming house near the school, you'll be more economical. Because only few answer time has it for me, please speak the communication by the email.

i'm not completely sure, but i think that you would be in your first year of high school in japan. study alot, because i hear that entrance exams in japan are tough and there is a lot of pressure for high school students. agh!! i wish i could go to japan for school! you're lucky!
2 :
You would probably end up in about 6th grade. They have way different standards in Japan compared to the US. The education system in the US is nothing compared to the Japanese system.

Art school in Japan for American living in Japan!? Please Help!!Please!.

Art school in Japan for American living in Japan!? Please Help!!Please!?
I live in Fussa Tokyo. I am American and basically have no Japanese language skills as I have just arrived here, I do plan on learning though. I am living on the Yokota Air Force Base and the schools here dont offer anything in the way of Art. I've already tried other professions and they ARE NOT for me. That is actually how I realized I need to do what I am good at and what I love. I looked at the Tokyo University of the Arts website but, they dont offer classes in English Is there anything I can do to get started asap?! what programs are available and where??? any other information you know on this subject would be absolutely appreciated! Id appreciate it so so much! wow, I dont have a choice in going back where I came from. If I had the time, money, and transportation I would have taken japanese classes. There are also no Japanese courses to take where I come from. I looked into it. I do my best to conform to Japanese manners and ways of doing things. I dont expect Japan to cater to my every American need either. I am not stupid please do not insult my intelligence.

You have to look for some private teacher through the message board at the base. Otherwise, you better go back where you are from. Japan is not a English country. You can't get all what you want all time anywhere, especially in Japan.
2 :
You should go back to America. You're not going to find quality education taught in English in Japan.
3 :
It's very difficult to find an art school in English in Japan, unless it's hobby level course. This school is giving you guidance in English. It's still better. http://www.to-bi.ac.jp/international/english/ But they say that you must have Japanese skill to join.
4 :
In short, you would need to know Japanese to get the kind of schooling you're asking for, sorry. :( Japan is not an English speaking country... And although you probably didn't mean to seem ignorant or anything, you should have expected things like this. This isn't America, and to live happily here you need to conform with the culture.
