Class Content

In our pre-elementary class, we engage children aged 3 to 5 who are immersed in a Japanese-speaking environment at home. Through diverse school activities, we introduce them to Japanese culture and facilitate age-appropriate interactions among peers.

For elementary and middle school students, our curriculum adheres to the guidelines provided by the Education Ministry in Japan, with a strong focus on Japanese language and mathematics.

As students progress into high school, we customize their educational experience based on individual preferences and parental input.

Our Japanese as a Second Language Program (JSL) is designed for children seeking to learn Japanese independently, despite not having exposure to the language at home. Through instruction delivered in English, we introduce Japanese language and culture to these students.
