Volume 39, Number 06

This week at Weekender

It’s our annual international schools’ special issue of Weekender, and regular readers will notice that we have brought it forward to earlier in the year than previous issues, due to requests from our schools. Our theme this year is ‘School Trips’, and, even though I’m not facing that difficult decision of where to send children to school, I have really enjoyed reading all about the trips our local international schools take their lucky children on!

In addition to our pull-out schools’ directory and five-page focus on schools, we have plenty of other helpful information for parents. Tokyo English Life Line is introducing a vital support service for parents. Our double-page Dining section features three great child-friendly restaurants, and page 18 covers a very special gym with an interesting philosophy for those who worry about their children being glued to a TV or computer screen. At the end of this issue, we’re also looking at Party Palace, a great party production company for adults and children alike!

Enjoy!
