Studying Japanese in Saitama

The school's authorized courses are university preparatory programs of two years, one year nine months, one year six months, and one year three months, all aimed at college preparation, plus a job hunting and business course. Classes emphasize the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), with interview and oral examination practice in regular classes and individual research plan support after class hours.

The school provides life guidance through foreign staff, dormitories, and support for specified skills evaluation tests in nursing care and food service.

Beginners build all four language skills with an integrated textbook. Grammar materials join the course at intermediate level, and advanced learners can take exam-focused electives on two days of the week. Materials include newspaper and magazine texts as well as past EJU questions. This sequence gives the learner a sense of when exam practice becomes a distinct part of the teaching week.
