I wanted to share the experience of what it was like to enroll my kids in school. Since kindergarten is not mandatory here, itâs actually somewhat of a complex process, so perhaps this information will be helpful to others in similar situations. Mandaratory Japanese school starts in first grade at the age of 6. Whereas American kids typically have 1-2 years of (voluntary) preschool before they start (mandatory) kindergarten, Japanese kids typically have 2 years of (voluntary) kindergarten before they start (mandatory) first grade. These two years are called KG-1 (for 4 year olds) and KG-2 (for 5 year olds).
