always when you change schools, you want to make sure you can transfer as much credits as you can even if you are going to Japan. another thing is you might have to take a entrace exam to get in to Japanese high school. each high school has different level such as smart school or average school etc...

Why would you want to do that? Do you want to study more, attend "cram school" on weekends and evenings, and wear uniforms to school? How's your Japanese? All classes are held in Japanese...well, except language classes...and they are difficult even if your skills are those of a native speaker. At graduation, the typical high school student will know some 1500 - 2000 Kanji characters, know the hiragana and katagana alphabets, and know the english alphabet. Then, there's math and science. Conservatively, a Japanese high school student's knowledge compares well with a typical U.S. college sophomore.

I don't know. Switch countries.

You will need your parents' permission and their presence in Japan, the Japanese school's permission, money for tuition (yes, you have to pay!) and a good understanding of written and spoken Japanese. Most schools will not even deal with students who cannot speak and read Japanese fluently, except those who come on an official exchange program. There are special high schools in Tokyo that accept returnees (Japanese children who have been abroad), so they will not disturb their regular area high schools.

I actually transferred Jr high school, so I'm thinking it's pretty much the same thing. You will need to take part in an entrance exam. The requirements differ for each school, so check with the school you are considering to make sure you meet all the requirements. You will need a copy of your grades (I had to turn in from grade school onwards), and pay the exam fee. It will also be good if you are fluent in Japanese, as there will probably be some kind of exam in Japanese. (I had written as well as an interview) But this is all in the case of transferring to a private junior high school. Since it is not considered mandatory to attend high school in Japan, please note that some kind of tuition will be needed even if you decide to attend public school. Good luck!
