Nagoya International School of Japanese Language

Nagoya International School of Japanese Language has delivered Japanese language instruction since April 2003 from its building at 3-6 Hazama, Showa-ku, Nagoya — a five-minute walk from both Tsurumai Metro Station and JR Tsurumai Station, in the Showa Ward of central Nagoya.

Japanese for further study

The school's principal programmes are a two-year college preparatory course and a one-year-nine-month preparatory course, both structured to ready international students for entry into Japanese universities, graduate schools, junior colleges, and specialist training schools. A short-term training course is also available for students not seeking a long-term student visa. The school's capacity is one hundred and fifty-eight students.

Since opening, the school has provided Japanese language training to more than two thousand international students. Following a change of operating entity in 2022, the school is now operated by Next Wave Co., Ltd., with that change certified by the Immigration Services Agency and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It is also accredited by the Nagoya Immigration and Residence Management Bureau of the Ministry of Justice.

Someone applying to a Japanese university can compare the two long courses with the time left before entrance procedures. The short-term course serves a separate audience and has a different application timetable.
