Check out the three links below that describe a Japanese elementary, middle, and high school. Teacher Peggy Steffens visited Japan with the The Fulbright Memorial Fund (FMF)* program in 2000.

*After 12 highly successful years, the FMF has unfortunately been discontinued due to “tightening fiscal circumstances in the Government of Japan.” Only slated to run for 5 years, the FMF has reached over 6,500 teachers from all over the U.S.

Anyone out there currently teaching in Japan? If so, are these schools pretty typical? How have schools changed since 2000?
