Japan Times School Fair Taipei 2026
Japan Times School Fair Taipei brings together a carefully selected group of schools based in Japan for families in Taiwan. Presented by The Japan Times, Japan’s oldest English-language newspaper, the fair offers a rare opportunity to meet the schools in person and explore what an education in Japan could look like for your child. School presentations and special seminars throughout the morning introduce each school’s philosophy, learning environment, boarding life, and educational approach. Families can then meet admissions representatives at their booths before sitting down for private one-to-one consultations in the afternoon, with dedicated time to discuss their child, ask more personal questions, and understand each school in greater depth. The participating schools represent a distinctive range of education available in Japan, from international schools shaped by their own values and communities to institutions with roots in British educational traditions. Choosing a school is about more than academics. It is about the people, experiences, friendships, and sense of belonging that become part of a child’s life. Japan Times School Fair Taipei is a day to discover these schools personally, meet the people behind them, and begin to see where your child may truly belong. We look forward to welcoming you and your family.
