What Our Students Have To Say!

"A Safe and Friendly Place"

"The teachers were welcoming and very nice. I felt comfortable giving it a try. I made friends from another country"

"Meeting new people"

I’ve been studying on my own until now, so I did feel a bit nervous and pressured.

But honestly, that turned out to be a good thing. It pushed me to grow"

"Great experience"

"I like the immersion and the fact that the teachers spoke more japanese than english, it made it challenging but I was very proud and happy when I understood what they were saying."
