KCP is a great school and you can learn a lot here if you put in the work. Expect to study a lot, and expect teachers to be strict when grading, especially in levels 1-4. There will be days when you don’t think you’re getting any better, but that’s usually because the classes are always going to be challenging. That’s a good thing.

One of the most interesting aspects of the program was being in a classroom with students from across the world. This forced us to use Japanese and not rely on our native language. In addition to learning about the Japanese culture I was also able to learn a lot about cultures from China, Korea, Brazil, etc.

I enjoyed the excursions and the lectures. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the places we visited.

I really enjoyed the Sports Day and seeing the sakura at Shinjuku Gyoen. I think they were great opportunities to get closer with my teachers and other students. I also really enjoyed participating in the Hanazono Matsuri.
