November 14, 2026 （ Sat ） ・ 15 （ Sun ） New York Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students Confirmed ！ 12 Participating Schools ！

For students living abroad who are returning to Japan, taking the entrance exams for returning students held in Japan requires them to return to Japan temporarily multiple times to align with the exam schedules of their desired schools, and managing their health due to the effects of jet lag poses a significant burden.

To address these challenges, the first “New York Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students” was launched in November 2024. It received positive feedback from participants, who commented, “It was great to be able to take exams at multiple schools without having to return to Japan,” leading to the second edition being held the following year in 2025. Ten schools participated, and in addition to the Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students, school information sessions and consultation sessions were held simultaneously.

For this third edition, the number of participating schools has expanded to 12, and the Joint Entrance Exam for Returnee Students will be held with an even more comprehensive program. We invite all prospective students currently living abroad to participate in this unprecedented new initiative.

Please check the websites of each participating school for details regarding applications.
