Japanese Bilingual School - Melbourne?

Question

We are moving to Melbourne later this year. I have a Japanese wife and a five year old who is bilingual. I want to try and make sure he keeps up with his Japanese and was trying to find any bilingual primary schools. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

The Japanese School of Melbourne caters for both primary and secondary school students. A number of mainstream schools (Heathmont SS, Gardenvale SS and others) offer Japanese as a foreign language, but JSM seems to be the only bilingual school.

Answer 2

If you can't find a primary school that teaches Japanese, you may want to consider the following: Victorian School of Languages - http://www.vsl.vic.edu.au/LangInfo.php?L...

Good luck
