Kobe International Language School opened its doors in 2011 with 2 students from China. But now, we have students from around 10 countries. Our campus is just like a microcosm, where you can hear the students’ bright voices. We have staff on campus who speak the native languages of our students and we support our students in all aspects of their lives. We strive to develop an environment for allowing them concentrate on their study. Almost all of our students successfully enter a graduate school, a university, or vocational school or start working at a Japanese company.
Now is the age of information technology, so wherever you are, you have the opportunity to explore the world and learn something new. I think the same is true for language study. However, it is important to experience Japanese culture, history, and customs while studying the Japanese language, is it not? Our school is actively engaging in interactions with the local community through extracurricular activities and other events. This chance will become an unforgettable memory and will be an opportunity that allow for students to deepen their understanding of Japanese society.
Recently, the number of the educational institutions, various institutions, and companies who visit our school have been increasing. As is well known, recently in Japanese society, there has been an increasing interest in hosting international students. Our school will continue to meet the diversifying needs of international students and the local community.
