Curriculum Features
Students are arranged into classes according to their level of Japanese, with an average of about 15 students in each class. Homeroom teacher takes charge of one class throughout the year, which allows the teacher to keep a close eye on each of the students.
Regular examinations and daily tests help teachers to always have a clear idea of the students' Japanese skills, which allows us to customize the curriculum for students when needed. This also helps us offer extracurricular training courses for passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and the Examination for Japanese University Admission (EJU) for International Students.
