School Outline and Education Method
We have an educational policy of “Relationships among people,” placing importance on “Meeting people” and aiming to create “Understanding of one another.” We encourage students to develop their abilities to communicate in Japanese, together with enjoying the opportunities to experience different cultures.
Lesson Features
They also provide short-term and conversational courses focusing on a curriculum for those who want to attend universities and vocational schools. The university entrance preparation includes detailed instructions to help students accomplish their goal, including practice for the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) and Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Furthermore, they help foster a student’s better understanding of foreign cultures by involving them in Japanese cultural activities such as traditional doll making.
About Activity
School events include lessons taught out-of-class (ie. on excursions and field trips), a sports meet, and both Christmas and New Year's parties. The students deepen their personal connection to the local people by participating in a Mochitsuki party thrown by the local elementary school children, and at local festivals held at shrines including both Mamemaki and Omikoshi.

Student's Voice
One year has passed since I started at Kasuga Japanese Language School. In that time I have already learned many things. When I arrived I had lots of anxiety, however the teachers were so kind in helping me solve my problems one by one, making me confident in both my studies and my new life. They taught us various subjects ranging from Japanese culture to international economics. The classroom atmosphere is so enjoyable and filled with laughter. We recommend you to come to this wonderful school, and we are sincerely looking forward to seeing you here!
