LEARNING JOURNEY
How the learning journey takes shape
- 01
Discuss a learning plan
Review enrolment, interests, Korean proficiency and preferred duration with the student and family. Discuss attendance, credits and graduation requirements with the home school in Japan first.
- 02
Prepare for language and daily life
Draw on exchange-study language, interview and school-life preparation. A transfer to a Korean school requires separate checks of schools, documents and admission conditions.
- 03
Connect lessons with experience
Discuss a combination of online learning and in-person activities in Seoul. Choose language, cultural enquiry, exchange and creative expression to fit individual goals.
- 04
Reflect and plan the next step
Review learning and activity records to plan further study and future pathways. Each school determines attendance, credit recognition and graduation under its own rules.
LANGUAGE · CULTURE · EXPRESSION
A curriculum connecting classrooms and Seoul
These educational themes draw on three existing programmes. They do not mean every activity is included in a core course or offered on a fixed schedule. Confirm the individual timetable, costs and eligibility through consultation.
Language and school life
Korean conversation, pronunciation and basic grammar, with TOPIK preparation where appropriate. Student exchanges, school visits and interview preparation connect learning with everyday life.
Culture and shared living
Explore schools, school meals, dramas, cafés and ways of addressing others. Neighbourhood visits, Korean home cooking and exchange activities help students understand one another’s daily lives.
Creative expression and future pathways
Explore dance, vocals, self-expression, specialist talks and demonstrations, and preparation for performances or auditions. Participation in auditions, selection and debut are not guaranteed.
