When is the career-path meeting (進路面談) for high school entrance in April 2027?2027年度高校受験の進路面談（三者面談）はいつ？

What to do

In the autumn of grade 9 the homeroom teacher meets you and your child to settle which high schools to apply to. Private high schools start pre-admission consultations (入試相談) with junior highs on December 15, so the list must be ready before that.

• Bring a list of public and private schools you are considering, with a safe choice.
• Ask about recommendation (推薦, suisen) and private 'preferred combined application' (併願優遇, heigan yūgū) thresholds.
• Arrived in Japan within the last three years? Ask about the quota for foreign students (在京外国人生徒).
