| School Details: |
Located in Saitama, a 30 minute train ride from the center
of Tokyo, Yono-Gakuin's location is one of its strong points. Saitama is known
for its comfortable atmosphere and convenient access to Japan's largest city.
The school is located in a quiet area, perfect for study and the cost of living
is comparably low, so students can save money for travelling or shopping. Near
the school is a large Shinto Shrine which means there are plenty of opportunities
year-round to experience Japanese culture and special events firsthand.
Classes are taught exclusively in Japanese in a direct and communicative method,
with a balanced focus on the four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening).
Students having trouble with tricky kanji may also seek help outside of class
hours for free. Instructors will give out homework daily to students matching
their ability, helping each student to improve at the best pace.
The school also prides itself on teaching the rich culture and nature of Japan
through year-round activities such as Hanami (cherry blossom viewing), Mt. Fuji
hiking trips, Sumo and more. Students will certianly make memories they will cherish. |
