Is there a university in Japan where one can study Latin, Greek, and Japanese

Is there a university in Japan where one can study Latin, Greek, and Japanese?
I'm an American English teacher in Japan. Recently, I have decided to make a career change to archeology, but before I can, I need to learn Greek and Latin as well as boost my GPA for graduate school. In order to do that, I need to go back to undergrad. I have already applied to a few undergrad programs in the States, and I've already been accepted to one. However, if possible, I would like to remain in Japan for a few more years as I study. I am currently trying to find a University in Japan where I can go to undergraduate school and study Latin and Greek, as well as improve my Japanese. My Japanese is still limited, so I'm hoping to find an international school, if possible. Is there such a school in Japan?

No idea, but there are a few hundred students in Japan who are using the lessons on the Latinum podcast. These start at a basic level, but cover all Latin grammar, and are aimed at producing fluent users of the language, users with a very high level of fluency. http://latinum.mypodcast.com

A question about studying in Japan

A question about studying in Japan?
I live in England, but would like to attend a high school in Japan for 3-6 months next year... I would like to experience Japanese culture, and see the country for myself, so I would like to attend a Japanese school, not an English school in Japan... I'm learning the language. I'll be 16 at the time, and would either require a host family, or be accompanied by my 23 year old brother, and stay in temporary accommodation... My only problem is that after 3 months of research and asking around, I can't find a high school suitable anywhere. I contacted one school a few months back, but have recieved no reply. I emailed them twice. Does anyone go to a school in Japan, know anyone who does, etc? I'd very much appreciate any help anyone can give me! Thank you. x

Trying to find a high school to attend for several months (only) individually would be extremely difficult. I would recommend you to join a foreign exchange student program. I am not sure what kind of program are held, but if you google it with words like "foreign/exchange/student/england/japan", you will be able to see what kind of association will support the program. Normally we don't have foreign student temporarily at Japanese high school, so you'd better find some special program that certain association support for.

Mana is right. You need connections to get into a Japanese school whether it be an exchange program or family members who live here. If you are just visiting, someone may be able to take you to school for a visit every now and then, but to be a part of the classroom full time would be difficult. Private or smaller country schools would mostlikely be a better bet as well since they are smaller and teachers may be able to accomodate you better. Also keep in mind that throwing yourself into a Japanese school at a High school level would be way above your head and you may find it rather frustrating. You may be able to observe the culture and environment of a Japanese High school, but actually learning Japanese enough to effectively communicate or keep up with studies is not going to happen at your age and amount of time you are staying here.

I agree with the others, by joining a foreign exchange program really does make a differenc. I have seen exchange sites on the internet but I'm afraid I can't think of the name. Trying searching online and you might find some study exchange programs in Japan. It also helps when your school has connections with schools in Japan. I've been to Japan before and went on a school tour, and next year am going back there for a four-month study tour at the Japanese school. But I'm afraid I don't have any contact details, as it goes through school. I'm not even sure they take other schools. We only get taken because we are their sister school. =] sorry I couldn't be of much help though, but definitely try online.

There should be an exchange program through your school or other local community group. If you live in a larger city you could have a Japanese sister city, contact that group to see if they have a program. I suggest you check out the curriculum and hours closely. You don't mention where you are but they study longer hours and at more advanced levels than generally found in US public schools.

i think you can. well i was born and lived in japan until i was 8 and my mom's old highschool teacher wants me to go to school for a year now that i finished high school. so i think you can. just pick a city that you like and talk to the school. maybe it all depends on the school. but good luck!!!

Yes, the Rotary Club has some good exchange programs. Check with the Rotary Club in your district.

Japan: Nurse in a Japanese school

Japan: Nurse in a Japanese school?
Well I always wanted to become a nurse but I just feel in love with the country Japan. I want to become a nurse in a Japanese school (like a school nurse). I'm 14 and I havn't went to Highschool yet, lol. So I'm planning... But is it possible?

Possible, but not likely. To work in Japan, you need a four year degree. To qualify for a work visa you need a solid job offer before you get there. To work as a nurse in Japan you would have to graduate from a Japanese nursing school. And to do that you would need to be able to read, write and speak Japanese at an above average level. So if you're serious, now is the time to learn Japanese. Bear in mind such schools in Japan are not cheap. And there's little chance they'd hire a non-Japanese for that kind of job. Sorry if I sound negative, but I wanted to be 110% honest with you.

Carl is right. To become a nurse in Japan, 1, Go to 2-4 years nursing school. 2, Take nurse exam and pass it. If you have nurse license in another country, you can skip step 1 if approved by the Japanese government. But it's very unrealistic to think that you can pass the exam without going to nursing school in Japan because the exam is all in Japanese. School nurse is rare in Japan. Most nurses work at a hospital.
3 :

The other downside to nursing in Japan is that's it's one of the professions where it's legal to discriminate against non-Japanese. To advance in the career, I believe you have to be a Japanese citizen. I've read about immigrants complaining they could not advance in nursing. Another option is being a nurse at an American military base. I'm not sure if you have to be in the military or if they hire civilians for that. There are several civilian positions on overseas bases.

Questions about Japan

Questions about Japan?
How many years do they go to school in japan? In the schools I go to, it was K (kindergarten) - 4 for elementary, 5-8 for middle, and 9-12 for high. Is it the same way in japan? Do they have summer break like we have here, or do they have their break at a different time, or not at all? Also, do they attend school on Saturday? I heard the do for a half of a school day. Finally, do they go to different classes each period, or do they stay in the same room all day, but have different teachers come in to teach different subjects? I'm just curious, I really have a huge interest in japan and was wondering what their schools are like.

I love japan but I'm not too sure about the grades. It's the same amount years but I think the grouping might be different. They have summer break but it starts in august and yes they have school on saturdays. For high school I know they change classes but I'm not too sure about middle and elementary school.
3 :

2 to 3 years for Kindergarten, 6 years for Elementary, 3 years for Junior High and 3 years for High school. They have summer break starts from late July(around 25th) to first of September(3rd or 4th). Schools in northern part of Japan might have shorter summer break(because it's cooler!). Some schools have Saturday classes, but it usually ends by noon. In Elementary school, they have the same teacher for every subject, and stay in the same classroom, but they will have different teachers on each subject in Junior High and High School and they mostly stay in the same classroom except on the special classes like Chemistry or Music. I am speaking from my experiences, but it might be different depend on the schools also, but I believe that most of the schools are like this.

I think Temple University is your only option. http://www.tuj.ac.jp/default.html

Perhaps you should take some remedial English classes while in Japan as well.
3 :
What type of degree? There are several universities in Japan that offer graduate degrees in English in fields like International Relations or International Business. APU and Waseda both sent me information about their English-language programs when I was looking into grad school. You probably need some focus on a program, though, if you're going to attempt the application process.
