One year study abroad programs at high schools in the United States, Canada and Finland.

We have our own annual study abroad programs to send students to three education partner schools: Cotter High School (Minnesota), West Burlington High School (Iowa) and Notre Dame High School (Iowa), in the United States, and high schools in two school districts (Kamloops School District, British Columbia and Camrose School District) in Canada, and public high schools in Finland. Students who have passed in school where they will be interviewed and tested academically, will be given an orientation on the culture and lifestyle of the host country, practical language learning and pre-training by teachers for Intercultural Exchange Programs before departure. After departure, students will be asked to submit a monthly report, and we will support them while they are studying abroad. After returning to school from abroad, teachers in charge of intercultural exchange programs, grade chiefs and class teachers will work together to provide study and career guidance to students.

Since 1999, we have been conducting a three-week Summer Advancement Program (SAP) at St. John's University in Minnesota, our education partner in the United States. In addition, we launched a three-week Summer English Program (SEP) at Washington State University in 2018. This program provides an opportunity to attend ESL (English as a Second Language) classes taught by university faculty, and it also includes outdoor activities in the wilderness of two states (Washington & Idaho). This program aims to improve English communication skills through academic, social and cultural experience activities. While staying in the university, students will live in the university dormitory, but there will also be home visits to experience the lives of the locals.

The spring camp is a program that provides ESL classes as an intensive lecture for about one week at accommodations in Okinawa by ESL (English as a second language) experts invited from our education partner schools in U.S., including St. John's University, Minnesota, cooperating with our American teachers (TAS). Similarly, summer camps will be conducted in cooperation with ESL specialists invited from Washington State University and other U.S. educational partner schools and ALTs (Assistant Language Teachers) affiliated with municipalities in the Okinawa prefecture. This is a locally hosted version of the SAP (Summer Advancement Program) at St. John's University. By participating in outdoor activities and recreational activities with ESL specialists invited from the United States and foreign teachers, students can learn living English with the five senses.
