Several private schools in Japan are barring kids from other countries to enter their intake exams, or simply not having those intake exams. The two schools we were hoping to get Ken into (these are $8-10k private schools with majority English instruction, not the $30-40k American School!) have withheld posting their exam dates. We might have trouble getting The Boy into any English instruction, which would mean he'd have to switch gears entirely to all-Japanese classes.

Which could be tough.
