There are times in people's lives when they need to make important decisions. Choosing to study abroad is one of those decisions. Tokyo Waseda Foreign Language School strives to provide the best opportunities for those who are stepping into a new world of studying in Japan.
Built upon Christian values, Tokyo Waseda Foreign Language School and its staff endeavor not only to help students succeed in their efforts, but also to equip the students with Christian morals.
We are confident that our school is the best choice for your bright future. We earnestly pray for God's abundant blessings to be bestowed upon you.

We offer educational programs for students who aim to pursue higher education in Japan. To study in Japan, it is essential not only to improve Japanese language proficiency but also to develop an understanding of Japanese society and culture, as well as academic thinking skills.
For this reason, our school has established a curriculum designed to cultivate these abilities, and our faculty and staff work together to provide meticulous learning support and career guidance tailored to each student. In addition, we have installed electronic whiteboards in all classrooms and incorporated ICT-based lessons to create a comfortable and effective learning environment for both students and teachers.
Furthermore, to provide high-quality education, it is essential to ensure a fulfilling work environment for the faculty and staff who support students' learning. We value teamwork and continuously engage in training and operational improvements to enhance our skills and promote a comfortable and supportive workplace.
A Japanese language school is a place where people with diverse goals come together to learn and grow. All of us at Tokyo Waseda Foreign Language School will continue to sincerely consider what we can do for our students and remain dedicated to supporting them.

I'm sure you all have a dream of studying in Japan, but studying abroad comes at a cost, It is not easy to live away from your family in a foreign country. You must become independent and make your own decisions.
Despite the difficulties, I believe studying abroad will offer you great experiences and help you to grow in life. We do not come across studying abroad opportunities often in our lives. Wouldn't you all want to begin the first step of that study abroad experience in Shinjuku, the center of Japan?
Shin-Okubo is an educational hot spot with several well known universities, public secondary schools, and vocational schools. Our staff at the Shin-Okubo Campus of Tokyo Waseda Foreign Language School wants to express a very hearty welcome to you all.
