I felt that the staff at KCP take their jobs seriously but also make the students feel comfortable to speak with them about anything.

Katherine from Summer 2021

Overall, I feel that I made the perfect choice to attend KCP. The classes are challenging, and classmates passing the JLPT prove that the lessons and studying really pay off.

The most interesting aspect is the different ways in which the learning process takes place.

Néstor from Fall 2019

You will love Japan and it will be a hard goodbye once it ends, it happened to me. With that said, the hardest goodbye won’t be to the country, but to the people you will bond with. So make the best of it and cherish the moments.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
