Where would an American go to school in Japan?

This summer I am moving to Florida but sometime during that year my dad will be sent on diploment to Japan and he said we will be going there to. I am extremely excited I get to go there but I'm wondering where would an american 8th grader go to school in japan?

Deployment, sorry I wasn't paying attention.^-^

The US military bases all have their own American schools with American teachers and the students are all just like you. They have football games, homecoming, prom etc. just like any other American (junior) high school. There are also private schools that cater mostly to non-Japanese people living in Japan, so you should ask your parents about that if you are interested. Fortunately, there is basically zero chance of you having to go to a Japanese public school unless you want to, i.e. by entering some kind of exchange program.

you would go to the nearest public middle school.
just to let you know, the schooling there is VERY strict and hard. You'll definately be put to work.

By "deployment" i assume your father is in the military?
Depends on where you are at in Japan, assuming you have no knowledge of Japanese language you might not even go to a Japanese school, many military bases have schools on base where you would go to school with other students who's parents are in the military/government and other places have "international" schools for students.

Yea its gonna be hard work in public school in japan. if your 8th grader what you learned here( especially mathmatics ) is like 6th grader level. I am not sure if you go to International school it would be as difficult. And make many friends so you learn the language and enjoy the life over in Japan. So if your dad is in military you are either going to Yokohama or Okinawa?
