Program Details

Our school focuses on encouraging our students to try different things, learn about different cultures, and find what things they enjoy and what kind of adult they would like to become in the future.

By joining our activities, besides being able to help the students understand different lifestyles and cultures, you will also be able to interact with Japanese students to learn about Japanese lifestyle and culture.

Activities & Shift

We are looking for people to help us with:
1.　School related activities, such as sharing your culture with students, teaching English, attending events with them, etc.
2.　Assisting in cooking classes for children. You don’t need to be a good cook, as you would mainly assist the chef and help the children cook while using English. You can learn Japanese recipes and share your own!
3.　PR related activities, such as writing articles and sharing pictures on blogs and social media, translation into your language, etc. You don’t need to be proficient in communication or computer field, as any skill is welcome.

Depending on your Japanese level and your own hobbies and talents, there are many things to do, and we welcome suggestions!
Our students don't stay the whole day, so you will only help during activities.
