KCP students: a global village

Most KCP students are from other Asian countries such as Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Taiwan. Studying with a diverse student body contributes to the unique KCP experience. In today’s global village, it is vital to appreciate the cultural practices, politico-economics, and histories of countries different from your own. At KCP International Japanese Language School, students from different cultures, with distinct languages and traditions, can learn the Japanese language and culture together . . . and grow in their understanding of each other. Many Asian students in the program are genuinely interested in American life and culture, so there is plenty of opportunity for spirited social exchange.

Testimonials

Choosing KCP was largely to do with the ease of application. A lot of other summer courses required a lot of paperwork and recommendations and transcripts that are a big pain to gather. But KCP’s application process was very easy and self-explanatory! Also, the student life photos looked interesting!
