School Outline and Education Method
This school is very strict about class attendance and behavior. Students are required to be in attendance more than 95% of the time. Since they intensely prepare for both the Japanese Proficiency Test and Foreign Student Test(?), many students have passed their four-year university entrance exams. Their strength lies in the help they offer students when applying for their desired university, as well as in the  kind of instruction needed to continue on to a graduate school and/or vocational school. Above and beyond their language lessons, other, special lessons necessary for students to attend university or to enter the work force are also offered. They also offer many opportunities for their students to better understand Japanese culture through local exchange programs. They aim to nurture people who want to contribute to a global society by developing their global communication skills via exchanges with students from different countries, in Japanese.

Lesson Features
Qualified Japanese teachers use a team approach, where two or three teachers are responsible for each class. Students are grouped according to the results of their Japanese Language Proficiency Test results (N1, N2, N3, N4, N5 or higher). Lessons are given only in Japanese, and focus on Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, in a small class system. By offering supplementary lessons, students can make personal progress. In addition to general Japanese lessons, additional science-math and English lessons necessary for entrance exams are offered. There is also a Kanji class for those who come from countries where Kanji is not used.
