I would do a search on Misawa Schools. I only know that Japanese go to school 6 days a week and all year. Good luck. I was stationed in Misawa. Very pretty up there.

The DOD schools are actually a thing of the past, there are very few DOD schools anymore, they say that it costs too much money, I would once you get there look around, talk to other soldiers and spouses and see what they have to say about the schools.

E-mail the District Superintendent's Office (DSO) and ask for the Schools Liason Officer's (SLO) contact information: japan_supt_DSO@pac.dodea.edu There is a SLO at every installation (whether serviced by a DoDEA school or not). The SLO is not an employee of DoDEA, however. He or she is your best source of information. If there is a non-DoD school in the Misawa area that fits your needs, he/she will be the authority on it. If a host nation school doesn't work out for you, you can have a look at these websites. The DoDDS Japan website will have links and contact info. to Misawa elementary and high schools as well as other answers to FAQs.
