Classes are held exclusively in Japanese.

Giselle from Summer Short 2019

The most productive aspects were that the classes are held exclusively in Japanese. KCP International is an intensive program but it really improves your Japanese ability, so be sure to study and take advantage of the great teachers.

The extracurricular activities allowed me to interact with others.

Josephine from Summer Short 2019

I enjoyed going to the singing club and the anime, comics, gaming club because it allowed me to interact with other students and the teachers outside of the classroom.

Alex from Summer Short 2019

The most productive aspect about this program is being in Japan, and forcing us to use Japanese almost all the time. I liked the onsen provided in theTanashi dorm!

The most productive and interesting aspects of the program that gave us insight into Japanese culture!

Camrick from Summer 2019

Grammar, reading practice, writing practice were most productive. Most interesting aspect was when teachers informally gave us insight into Japanese culture during class sometimes. Those occasions were really important and eye-opening!

The most productive aspects were all the things I can’t learn by myself, or where constant feedback is needed: Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
