Hi! I am new to Tokyo and I am seeking information about resources for gifted children. Does anyone have any advice or resources?
Thanks

Karyn,

I do not live in Japan but live in Canada...I came across Tokyo for Kids while researching for a website. I have quite a few online resources for gifted children as I have a 14 yr old daughter. Also www.freespirit.com is a US publisher that specializes in this topic. If you would like the url's that I have feel free to email me.

I have just completed a section on homeschooling children with special needs including gifted children for an organization I volunteer with. You will find it at the National Home Education Network website www.nhen.org
The direct link to the special needs section is {http://www.nhen.org/specneed/default.asp?id=271
Here you will find essays by parents, websites, email lists, and books that homeschooling parents have found useful.
The NHEN website has a lot of great information for homeschoolers. It is non-commercial and it is totally inclusive. If you find the information useful please consider joining as we would like your support. Membership is
free.

Hi, we are fairly new in Tokyo. We have a 6 yrs old boy who is musically gifted. We don't speak Japanese at all. Any idea what kinda of music school I can put him into? Thanks.
