Why Us?
Proven Teaching Methodology
Our classes focus on selected topics and real-life situations. Activities are designed to help students understand and respond to those topics and situations as they would in the real world.
Instructor-led Experience
All instructors have a minimum of 15 years of teaching experience. Instructors will lead the conversation in the online and In-Person class and work with students directly.
Japanese Conversation Partners
A select group of Japanese student partners, including students studying at Showa Boston, will participate in conversational practice during the class, targeting key learning areas.
What People Are Saying
Maria
“Great school, I've been studying Japanese for 1 year with them (2 semesters) and just signed up for the next one. Teachers are very professional. This school is the best in Boston for Japanese language learners.”
Christina
“The campus itself is lovely and there is lots of free parking, which is helpful if you are visiting for class, or any of the many festivals the university hosts throughout the year. If you like Japan and Japanese culture, want to learn Japanese, or meet Japanese friends, this is a great place to get involved.”
