| Western Asia is not included in the classification of Asia by the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT). Shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu are overseas branches of Japanese schools; these are boarding and day schools which provide sixth form/senior high school level education. Nihonjin gakkō are day schools operated by Japanese associations and, usually, only include primary and junior high school levels. The Shanghai Japanese School is the only such school to have senior high school classes. |

| The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies the Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney Japanese schools as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. The former South Queensland Academy was classified as a shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools) and was the only Japanese school in Australia to offer senior high school-level education. The Russian Embassy School only serves primary school. |
