Flexible curriculum that students are able to select classes from different levels in different subjects. That means if you are good at speaking but not good at reading, you could select an upper conversation class, and a lower reading class.

20 lessons of Japanese per week, Monday to Friday (50 minutes per lesson, 4 lessons a day).

At the intermediate level and above, elective subjects such as business Japanese, University and college preparation, and JLPT preparation are available according to learning objectives.

Dormitories can be introduced by the school.

Unique feature:

The school understands that knowing how to communicate your own "uniqueness" is an integral part of learning Japanese.

Free yourself of the model conversations in textbooks, and learn how to say what you really want to say using Japanese from the very beginning. Here, you can do just that without losing your own "uniqueness".

In Japanese communication, both "correctness" (in grammar and pronunciation) and "oral fluency" are important. The school can help you learn Japanese "appropriately" from both points of view.

In intermediate level classes and above, the focus shifts more to academic Japanese necessary to study and do research in Japanese colleges. It is not just for passing entrance exams, but to allow yourself to truly enjoy your college life as well.

Can join any week if you are higher than beginner level, and meet certain visa requirements. Please inquire for individual guidance.

• Main intakes in January, April, July or October each year.

  • You must apply 6 months before for long-term courses; due to student visa immigration processes. We can guide you through this.

  • For getting into vocational college from beginner Japanese level, a 2 year course starting April is highly recommended, to graduate in March and enter the vocational school in April, which most schools have their intake.

  • Please inquire for personal guidance on starting terms, durations and requirements, as it depends on the individual.

  • Minimum requirement for student visa: 1,500,000 JPY savings available in a bank statement. This is required to prove to the school and immigration that funds are available to pay for tuition, accommodation and living expenses for a year. The tuition(first year) and accommodation(monthly) should be paid to the school, once the school gives confirmation of entrance.
