My father worked for a Japanese multinational corp and many of his friends were Japanese employees who were transferred to his Canadian branch for years at a time. Their children attended a Japanese govt funded cram school (Hoshuko) on the weekends but were able to integrate back into Japanese schools upon their return.

Your son will be thrust into Japanese Grade 3?

It'll be a tough transition for sure but I'm sure he'll adapt eventually.
