Student Success Stories

  • I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs… Overall, KCP came out superior based on the number of things that you get for the price

    – Rachel 

  • At first I thought KCP was too good to be true because I could not find a single negative review anywhere. Turns out there’s a very good reason for this.

    – Louise

  • KCP is a great school that has really accelerated my learning of Japanese. The program is tough but incredibly rewarding.

    – Matthew 

  • I went from knowing no Japanese at all, to being near conversational level, in just a few short months.

    – Garrett

  • Learning alongside classmates from different countries forced us to use Japanese and not rely on our native language.
