Heart (´Д`)ノHelp!手伝って下さい!School Trouble :P

My boyfriend is Half Japanese half Perubian, lived in Japan his whole childhood, and moved to American 8 years ago. Since he was coming from out of the country they put him back one year. He is already one year younger than myself, so he is 2 years behind me education wise. Well I finished all my studies and graduated Highschool this year, and hopefully in less than 1 year I'll be studying in 大阪(Oosaka) at Kansai Int.University (just gotta keep my grades up ). He has been wanting to go to Japan like CRAZY. Well ofcourse you live in a place all your life, and *BAMB* your gone for 8 years straight. We want to go on vacation there, but he has been really worried about school. I mean we wont be able to see eachother for a year!!! Theres only so many times you can spend 1k+ on a ticket to see your girlfriend when your income is minimum wage. What we we're thikning is to let him finish his last year of highschool in Japan with me. His mother has no problem with it, and I offered him to live in my apartment (which is really friggen expensive, but we can live us 2 in a 1 roomer ). He said he'd get a job (because I doubt he'll get accepted to one of those Hoity-Toity schools that dont allow you to have afterschool jobs) to help me out with expenses. He should have no problem speaking, he still knows Japanese, he might need to study somemore kanji (He does self studying so he knows a lot) but ya know he didn't study it throughout all Highschool >.> My problem is, HOW DO I GET HIM INTO SCHOOL!!??? I mean school ends here in May, school starts there in April, should he finish his Junior year and start school in Japan late? How about entrance exams for Gai-jin? Will they put him in a 3rd year class (12th grade)? Hehe I dont want him to be put back again, how can I get him some help for schooling in the Kansai area!??? Helppppp

Many high schools accept transferred students, but I guess it would be much easier for him to graduate from his current school.

I know it would be easier, but he doesn't want to deal with being seperated for a year. Trust me I know that whole myth about long distance relationships is false, it can still work out, but its so hard to deal with it, ya know. I know lots of schools accept transfer students but I just dont know how to get him enrolled in one, what steps we need to take etc. He doesnt really have "School Spirit" and his best friends keep moving back and forth from South American countries, that even if he moved to Japan he would'nt feel he would miss much from his American Highschool or American Life. I think he just wants to go back to his Original home, and start life on is own ya know ><?

It seems the YMCA would have the most flexible schooling system in Osaka.
Or just google "international school Osaka".


ネタとしては面白いね。
