Curriculum
Small Class ・ Homeroom System
Each class is organized by a small group of 15 people on average. The homeroom teacher plays a central role in providing careful guidance that is close to each student. Although it is a large school, the number of students per class is small, so the distance between students and teachers is close, and it is a school with a cosy atmosphere where you can consult anything.
Language Proficiency Training
Based on high basic skills, we have a curriculum aimed at developing Japanese skills that can be acquired and used in a well-balanced manner. In addition to inputting knowledge, we are also focusing on output activities such as writing, speeches, and presentations.
EJU/JLPT Preparation
Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) and Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) are offered according to each level. We also hold a mock exam in the school before the exam.
Developing Autonomous Learners
We aim to develop autonomous learners who can engage in learning enthusiastically and actively. Teachers support a series of actions to plan, reflect on, and evaluate one's own learning, helping to improve learner autonomy.
School Events
We hold speech contests and essay contests to announce the results of learning Japanese, seasonal events (Kakizome, bean sowing, Tanabata), barbecues and Christmas parties for class exchange. Also, before graduation, students go on a graduation trip as a last memory with their class and teachers.
