Shane English School Kids
About
An English conversation school for children, from age 2 to junior high school. Centered on small-group lessons with native-speaker teachers, there are also private and pair lessons, Eiken preparation with Japanese teachers, and lessons for returnee children. In Tokyo, there are 58 schools in the 23 wards and 17 outside the 23 wards.
Ages
There are classes for ages 2–3, the first to final years of kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school. In small-group lessons for ages 2–3, children who turn 3 during the school year move up to the first-year kindergarten class in April when the year changes. Lessons for returnee children are for age 3 to junior high school.

Trial lessons and visits
