Culture Classes were very well done, I enjoyed them a lot.

Leo from Summer 2016

All the teachers are extremely dedicated to the students’ progress as long as the students show that they’re giving their best shot. Always ask if you have any questions.

The extracurricular classes were the most interesting. I also found the school trip to Yamanashi quite informative and interesting.

Nicholas from Summer 2016

Get ready for intensive language study. Also, prepare to get disappointed when you don’t quite meet your expectations, but surpassing that makes it all the better. The staff is super helpful, so don’t hesitate if you have any concerns or questions.

The Culture Course gave depth and insight into the history and culture.

Tyler from Summer 2016

The trip to Kamakura took us to more places that I was completely unfamiliar with, which made it that much more interesting and exciting.

I really enjoyed the Kamakura trip. I got to know the other US Program students a little better which was really nice! It was also fun to stay a night at a ryokan with everyone.

Sarah from Summer 2016

I liked the Speech contest as well, because it was fun to work with my classmates to come up with and practice our skit. Seeing the other classes’ skits was really cool!

Emily from Summer 2016

As the speech representative from my class, it really helped boost my confidence to have my classmate’s support and to see them perform before my speech.

While the speech contest was fun what I really enjoyed was the time spent preparing for the cheer with my classmates. It gave us time to connect as a class outside of the classroom.

Chase from Summer 2016

One of the most interesting aspect of the program was being in a classroom with students from across the world. This forced us to use Japanese and not rely on our native language. In addition to learning about the Japanese culture I was also able to learn a lot the cultures from China, Korea, Brazil, etc.

I love that the school is in the heart of Tokyo and that all the classes are in Japanese. Since the classes are taught only in Japanese it pushes me to study more.
