Program Highlights

Small Classes - there are a maximum of 6 students per class, which guarantees the best quality, lots of personal attention, and many chances to practice speaking Japanese

Competitive Prices - courses start at less than $160 USD per week, which makes us one of the cheapest language schools in Japan, while still maintaining a high standard of teaching

Flexibility - students can join our course every Monday, and after arriving at the school there are plenty of opportunities to add courses or join activities

Local Volunteers - not only do our teachers and employees provide a homely atmosphere, we also invite many Japanese volunteers to join our activities; in this way our students can make friends with locals and practice their Japanese outside of the classro

This program is amazing for people of any level who want to learn Japanese and emerge themselves in Japanese culture. The process of being admitted into the school and expenses that need to be covered for accommodation and events and such were super easy due to the fast and detailed responses from the staff at JaLS. The school itself is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome and when you add amazing staff and people who want to be your friend and help you it makes for one amazing experience. I ha...

I did the winter course at JaLS, which runs for 6 weeks and includes several cultural activities. It was my first time in Japan, and it has been incredible. I even ended up extending my stay in Sapporo for another 4 weeks. What I really enjoyed about my time at JaLS is that I got to meet amazing people from all over the world, also plenty of Japanese people. In a short time, I got to form strong bonds, and it has elevated the whole experience. The Japanese classes are great - my Japanese level ...

I’m 4 weeks into my time at JALS, it’s been really fun. There are lots of fun activities and the classes are also really great for learning Japanese. I’ve had lots of opportunities to make many new friends during my time here. It’s a great combination of fun, cultural immersion and learning.

I already live in Sapporo and had been going to another school. However, my previous school was a huge help in teaching me beginner Japanese but I was struggling to connect everything I had learnt, the teachers changed, and it was no longer working for me. I needed to find a school that not only suited my needs but also fitted around my work schedule.
