Students from abroad

Each student follows a distinct path, HIS offers a personalized approach to support international students.
While some choose to enroll immediately after completing junior high school in their home countries, others may take a gap year dedicated to learning Japanese before commencing from the first year.
Alternatively, one can choose a short-term at HIS, our goal is to identify the most suitable fit for our students as they embark on the forthcoming phase of their academic journey.

How does it work?
