KCP provides the serious student with a unique opportunity for Japanese language proficiency through total immersion. Student-teacher ratio—11: 1. 800 students a year. While most students are from other parts of Asia and all instruction is in Japanese, English-speaking staff provide language support, even special tutorials, as needed for our many U.S. students.
KCP is a convergence of students, aspiring teachers, interns, and professors. Teachers are carefully evaluated for teaching effectiveness and methodology in a series of interviews and active observation.
Tokyo-area university professors teach the new, innovative KCP Japanese-language teacher preparation program—the only one of its kind at a Japanese language school.
In addition, Japanese teachers-in-training from nearby universities serve supervised internships at KCP, to supplement your learning and provide more interaction.
KCP student scores on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (Nihongo Nouryoku Shiken) are testimony to the high quality of language instruction. This test is administered by the Japan Foundation and the Association of International Education. Most students enrolled in KCP’s advanced classes are able to pass Test Level One (the most difficult). This level of Japanese proficiency usually allows them to enter a Japanese university as a full time student.
KCP International Japanese Language School is in Shinjuku--the business, entertainment, and shopping center of Tokyo. It's a 5-minute walk from the Shinjuku Gyoenmae subway station on the Marunouchi line, or a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku san-chome subway station on the Toei Shinjuku line. Less
