Our Educational Philosophy
The educational philosophy we set out when we were accredited by the Minister of Education. The three letters of our name are its three pillars.
Japanese for living as part of Japanese society
Not only the language ability that entrance exams demand, but the grounding to understand Japanese society and culture — living language, and people who can bridge Japan and their home country.
We change our approach, not the student
We respect each student's individuality and dreams, and vary how we support them according to their own goals. This is the root of JCL's teaching.
Still learning after you graduate
Beyond reaching B2 while you are with us, our goal is the habit of going on learning independently after you leave.
