In the context of notable globalization, students from Europe, America, and China, with a minority from Southeast Asia, are engaged in a study experience that goes beyond the Japanese language, delving into Japan’s singular culture. Through helpful guidance and encounters with a different world, our students shape their study community.
Communication as a Japanese Language Tool
Language is conceptualized not just as theoretical knowledge but as a key to engagement. We advocate for a form of study that breaks from mere lectures, urging students to express and understand others within the academic skyline, heavily focusing on the natural application of learned words, grammar, and etiquette.
Extracurricular Activities
Our board also sketches a tradition of co-curricular happenings, laying the Japanese undōkai (sports festival) for principles on the school-year canvas. Traditional confabulations and high teas with native denizens for a mastery of Japan’s ethos, and jaunts to prime tourism consulates in Nagoya, distinguish our academy.
The Comprehensive Japanese Course at Nagoya International Academy (NIA) is meticulously designed for everyone, from eager beginners to zealous professionals, aiming for mastery up to the JLPT N1 level. Our holistic program transcends the division of language from hands-on knowledge to a virtual platform of skillful people, with a menu of tailor-made classes for diverse purposes, be it for higher education, career opportunities in Japan, or enhancing communication prowess. We offer a solid linguistic foundation and soft skills with a flexible enrollment schedule and dedicated visa support for international students. Whether you’re starting anew or scaling up, you can progress through five structured levels, from complete beginner to the upper pinnacle of fluency, over a welcoming span of 1.5 to 2 years, in sync with your own academic or professional path. NIA is the bridge to your aspirations, fervently committed to inclusivity, enfranchising learning from an anime to work-oriented all year long.

The demand for a new era’s workforce is for young people well-acquainted with the cultures and customs of various countries. Nagoya International Academy welcomes students from all over the world, where they study Japanese while interacting with people from different countries, all within the same classroom. Many of our students aspire to further their studies at Japanese universities, and to support them, we offer both the Japanese Language Proficiency Test and preparatory guidance for the University Entrance Examination for International Students, as well as career counseling beyond regular classes.
Understanding Japanese culture and customs is key to mastering the language. That’s why we provide students with numerous opportunities to interact with Japanese locals, not only through cultural events but also through school-organized trips. As Asia gains more significance in the modern world, Nagoya International Academy is dedicated to fostering mutual understanding and shared learning to help future generations develop valuable skills for a growing number of Japanese students. We are deeply committed to supporting the personal and emotional development of our students, and we look forward to witnessing the thriving futures they are bound to create.
