• Progressive Learning in Language and Culture

Our course takes a step-by-step approach that starts with the basics, including the Hiragana and Katakana alphabets and simple vocabulary.

Each level introduces your child to increasingly advanced language skills, allowing them to gain fluency gradually while understanding Japanese cultural practices, from greetings to traditional customs.

With every term, your child will complete assessments that include vocabulary recognition, sentence formation, and role-playing activities. These progressive milestones offer parents a tangible way to track their child’s growth and help ensure they’re gaining language skills with confidence. At the end of each level, students will receive certificates, celebrating their achievements and encouraging them to progress to the next level.
