Exploring the US Boarding School Expo Tokyo 2026

On October 12, 2026, Tokyo will host the FindingSchool US Boarding School Expo, organized by Boarding School Consulting Inc. in collaboration with FindingSchool, an EdTech search engine based in Boston. This event will take place at the Akasaka Intercity Conference Center and is expected to be the largest US boarding school fair in Japan, featuring representatives from 29 prestigious boarding schools across the United States.

What to Expect

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet and consult directly with admission officers from prominent institutions such as Choate Rosemary Hall, St. Paul’s School, Middlesex School, Northfield Mount Hermon, The Peddie School, Blair Academy, and Miss Porter’s School. This direct interaction is invaluable, especially for families considering overseas education, where traditional research methods like websites and brochures may fall short in conveying the unique character and philosophy of each school.

Participants will have the chance to ask specific questions related to school culture, educational philosophies, dormitory life, and the support system for international students. In today's globalized world, understanding these nuances is essential in making an informed decision about a child's future education.

Free and Accessible

The expo is free to attend, and your pathway to participation is just a registration away. Thanks to the support of the Commercial Section of the US Embassy in Japan, this event is positioned to cater specifically to elementary, middle, and high school students, along with their parents and educational professionals.

Meet Face-to-Face with Admission Officers

The expo will allow families to engage in one-on-one discussions with admission representatives at dedicated booths. Attendees will be able to directly inquire about:

• - The kind of students who thrive at each school
• - The English proficiency and academic requirements for admission
• - The specifics of dormitory life and support for international students
• - College placement and alumni outcomes

With the added feature of interpreter support, those feeling hesitant about consultations in English can feel at ease and actively participate.

Panel Discussions

In addition to individual consultations, panel discussions featuring active admission officers will explore essential aspects such as unique features of US boarding schools, educational environments, and key considerations when selecting a school. This forum will provide insights from those directly involved in admissions and recruitment, making it a must-attend for families seriously considering American boarding schools or those embarking on their initial research into overseas education.

Diverse School Options

The expo assembles a varied group of schools known as the “Ten Schools,” including Choate Rosemary Hall and St. Paul’s School, alongside other distinctive institutions like Middlesex School, Northfield Mount Hermon, and The Peddie School. This diverse attendance guarantees a comprehensive overview of different educational approaches across coeducational, all-boys, and all-girls institutions, as well as junior boarding schools.

Engaging with the Community

According to Eiji Yokoyama, CEO of Boarding School Consulting Inc., today’s families are increasingly considering overseas education early in their children’s academic journeys. He emphasized the value in gathering firsthand insights that can illuminate factors influencing family decisions about education abroad. The expo not only serves families with concrete plans for overseas education but also provides a welcoming environment for those curious about international schooling options.
