Make sure you know hiragana and katakana before coming.

Maeve from Fall 2022

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Make sure you know hiragana and katakana before coming. Don't get sick while here, taking even one day out of school is brutal in terms of catching up in the material. Though that said, the school is so helpful in setting up appointments for doctor visits and or hospital trips. Don't have an attitude when coming to Japan. Be respectful of the cultural differences between you and peers as well as the Japanese natives.

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
