The work load is very heavy but for my future goals it has suited my needs.

Moriah from Spring 2023

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

Tokyo Disney Sea was more fun than I expected it to be ad a good learning experience; it was also a unique opportunity to be able to perform in the graduation ceremony and experience it even if I wasn’t graduating

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

The work load is very heavy but for my future goals it has suited my needs. The end of term review courses are mostly helpful, though I think the last term’s reading section could have been a bit more in depth. However, overall the program is well structured and resources are there to help if needed

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

Kanji textbooks, in class grammar/sentence making practice (both alone and with partners), applied practice

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

It’s hard work, so be prepared to study, but don’t forget to balance enjoying your time in Japan. This experience is just one door opening to broaden your horizons, so enjoy it as much as you can!

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
