Program Overview

Spend your summer studying in Tokyo on a pre-college program designed for high school students who want to explore an academic interest while experiencing life in Japan. Choose a seminar and investigate your subject through discussions, projects, expert-led activities, and field visits throughout the city. Depending on your interests, you might practice Japanese at a level suited to your experience, learn illustration techniques from a professional manga artist, explore Japan's textile traditions, or gain insight into finance and consulting by meeting industry professionals. Tokyo serves as an extended classroom, with opportunities to learn from local artisans, business leaders, analysts, and other experts. Outside of seminars, experience the neighborhoods, food, traditions, and everyday culture of one of the world's largest cities. This Tokyo summer program combines pre-college academic exploration with hands-on learning and cultural immersion, giving students a chance to investigate potential interests before college.
