Or you can use the search engine to search "Best engineering school in Japan" or just check out the top 200 list of world's best universities (using search engine as well) and follow the list until you find one from Japan, and see if this university taught engineering.

1. It's too late to get into an international exchange student program since you are over 18 and still haven't completed 11th grade. 2. Japanese schools are very challenging & far more demanding than US, UK & other schools. Especially for math & science! If you haven't aced advanced alegbra, trig, and into calculus, you'll never keep up with Japanese high school students. 3. For a high school with a dorm/student residence, you'd have to find a private boarding school. If you could find one which would take you, it would cost your parents a fortune. Are you & your parents prepared to pay $50,000/yr for you to finish high school? No scholarships, no financial aid, cash in advance only. 4. How's your Japanese? Near-native or native fluency? In reading, writing, speaking and listening comprehension!

"Prom" is uniquely American... Japanese have graduation at just about every level of schooling but celebrations are pretty formal.
2 :
They don't really have a Prom culture, however formal celebrations (similar to a graduation) is common. They do, however, have A lot of festivals in a year when the girls dress up in kimonos, probably as close as you'll get to a "prom".
3 :
I have been a teacher in JHS and HS in Japan for 3 years, and they don't have proms or school dances. Where I live there is a school festival in October that the students prepare for for months and lasts two days. There is usually a singing competition between the classes, power point picture presentations, jump rope competitions, and skits. The students always talk about it at the end of the year (in March) as one of the highlights of the year. Japanese schools emphasize unity and equality within the student body and there are many events where the whole school comes together to compete in relay races or other activities. There however is no concept of organized romantic exercises like in America.

No . It's pretty strict over here and they take sex separation seriously

My friend is Japanese, he says school is hard, but way better, than in the US. There's more discipline, and you actually learn subjects that are considered AP here as normal. However, higher education, as he points out is better in the US.

It depends on the school. Some schools are more strict than others, and kids have to test to get into good schools. But most of the time its the students that make the school seem strict, not the teachers being strict. I went to an all girls private catholic school in Japan, and it wasn't as strict as I expected it to be. The students usually did their homework during the 10 minute break before class started!

It can depend on many things. The type of school you go to can be huge, especially once you get into high school as there is a high school entrance exam. and HSs are streamed. So, if you get into an academically elite school, versus an agricultural high school the standards are different. Teachers are individuals, so each case is different. Sometimes the pressure of the school's reputation that the kdis face are shared by the staff. I know of one private elite school that fires teachers if their home room students do poorly. But, teacher-student relationships are a lot closer than the ones I remembered in North America, especially with home room teachers and club teachers. In jhs, there is a lot of emphasis placed on home room and club activities. Technically optional, almost every student is part of one club that they go to after school and some times even during holidays and weekends. Third year of jhs is also more stressful. Students are expected to retire from clubs and start preparing for the entrance exams. Kids can't fail, so no matter how poorly they do, they will advance to the next grade with their peers. So, for some students, this is the first time where they've really studied.
