My daughter would like to study in Japan during high school. At this juncture, we are thinking about 2nd semester, sophomore year. I work for a Japanese man who has said that he would be able to facilitate this. Has anyone had a child who studied abroad without going through a formal program? I am just trying to figure out the logistics of this as the Japanese school year doesn’t match up with our school year and I am sure that there are other logistical problems. There wouldn’t be any visa issues as my boss knows the head of the Japanese consulate personally and told me that he could get a visa for my daughter in one day.

I told my daughter that she might have to take some classes on line to be able to study abroad. She has no issues with taking classes on line and would be open to doing this in addition to her schoolwork in Japan.

Any thoughts on this? Is it even feasible?

Thanks.
