Teen Program

No, it is not required. 

Your child will be in safe hands, making friends with teens in Japan and from all over the world. They will stay with a Japanese host family and will have curfews (unless parents agrees otherwise). 

A weekly email update will be send to parents. 

We provide full support to ensure students feel safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay:

• 24/7 emergency contact in both Japanese and English
• Weekly parent update emails to keep families informed
• On-site student support for any issues or concerns during their program
• Local host family to help with daily life and provide a warm, welcoming environment
• Personalised care from our dedicated team before, during, and after the stay

Our program focuses on practical, real-life communication, not just textbook memorisation.

Students learn how to express themselves naturally in everyday situations—whether ordering food, chatting with locals, or joining community events.

Lessons are taught by certified native instructors in small groups, using a communicative approach designed to build confidence, fluency, and cultural understanding from day one.

Our curriculum also includes real-world practice whenever possible. For example, after a lesson on ordering in a café, students will actually go out and order in person—maximising the value of their time in Japan and helping them apply what they’ve learned immediately.

Flights are not included, as courses are flexible and students prefer to make their own travel arrangements. Assistance can be provided if required. 

Kobe Airport and Kansai International Airport are the recommended airport. 

Staff or driver will be waiting at the arrival gate for airport pick-up and will personally hand the student over to the host family in Japan. 

We recommend arriving between 9am to 6pm to ensure a smooth pick-up and safety for a minor traveller.
