Academic Advancement Course

This is a course aimed at advancing to higher education institutions in Japan. Students are divided into classes from beginner level according to their Japanese proficiency, and comprehensively acquire Japanese as a means of communication while improving their abilities in five language activities: ‘reading, listening, writing, speaking (interaction), and speaking (presentation).’ We also prepare for the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) to polish Japanese language skills toward advancement. In addition, the homeroom teacher and all school faculty and staff work together to carefully provide personalized support such as academic counseling and interview practice.
