New School Selection Fair 2026 at Okinawa Convention Center

The "New School Selection Fair" will be held on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at the Okinawa Convention Center in Ginowan City, Okinawa. This event is designed for junior high school students, high school students wishing to transfer, their parents, and teachers, offering a wide range of educational options.

The fair provides opportunities to explore various fields such as anime, voice acting, design, illustration, IT, web development, esports, programming, languages, and study abroad programs. It also caters to students facing challenges like truancy, developmental differences, the need for academic catch-up, or orthostatic dysregulation. Visitors can engage in career counseling sessions and experience sample classes, all without prior reservation, allowing for direct comparison of different schools' characteristics. Furthermore, "New School Selection Seminars" and "School Introduction Live" sessions will offer insights into the structure of correspondence high schools and guidance on choosing the right school. While these sessions are recommended for pre-booking to secure a seat, walk-in participation may be possible if space is available.

Participating institutions include Asuka Mirai Kizuna High School, N High School, S High School, R High School, Seisa Kokusai High School, Tsukuba Kaisei Kokusai High School, Human Campus High School, Mizuho MSC High School, Yashu Gakuen University International High School, Trial High School, Yoyogi Animation学院, and Naha Shoin Gakuin High School. Kashima Gakuen High School is also listed as a participating school for materials.

Interactive "experience corners" will feature activities like "Make Your Own Mark Accessory," "VR Learning & Illustration Lesson Experience," and "Turn Ocean Waste into Treasure! Upcycle Art Experience." These hands-on sessions offer a tangible feel for the schools' educational environments and post-enrollment learning.

The event runs from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with many programs open to all without reservations, encouraging easy attendance for consultations and experiences. It serves as a valuable platform for families contemplating future education and individuals seeking new learning pathways.
