The school's principal programme is the Japanese Language Comprehensive Course, which covers all four core skills — listening, speaking, reading, and writing — and is available in a format for student-visa holders as well as an equivalent track for residents and short-term students. For learners focused specifically on spoken communication, the Japanese Practical Conversation Course delivers a skills-focused curriculum oriented toward everyday use.

Private lessons for students with demanding schedules — due to work, study, childcare, or other commitments — are available on a commute basis from the Nagoya campus. On-site facilities include a library, study room, and health room.

For a student attending regularly from outside the centre of Nagoya, the route from Kanayama Station’s north exit is a useful detail when planning the journey. The school occupies the fifth and sixth floors of the Kanayama Building.
