Can I use the same textbooks at the new school?
The publisher of the textbooks may differ depending on the grade and subject. You may be able to study using the textbooks from your previous school for a while, but please coordinate with your new school. New textbooks will be provided free of charge.
What should I do if my child cannot keep up with the classes after transferring?
Please consult with the homeroom teacher or the educational consultation desk at the new school. You may be able to use learning support staff or supplementary lessons.
