GenkiJACS is not just your normal Japanese school.
Here are some of the differences:

* Small class size
Classes are limited to a maximum of 6 students, and usually have around 3, giving you plenty of chance to practice with the teacher.
* Unique Courses
You won't find our "Japanese through Pop Culture" and "Japanese and Traditional Culture" courses at other schools!
* All ability levels accepted
Whether you are a complete beginner, an expert, or somewhere in between, we have a class for you.
* Practical topics
All classroom work is based on increasing your practical ability, and reinforced with practical activities outside of the classroom wherever possible.
* Relevant materials
Our teachers are constantly evaluating new learning materials, and creating our own where existing materials do not satisfy us.
* Only licensed teachers
Unlike some other Japanese schools, all of GenkiJACS' teachers are graduates of a 420-hour Japanese teacher training course at a recognized study institution. We hire only the best, and perform regular training. Students agree: you won’t find better teachers!
* Flexible schedules
Courses start every Monday year-round, and you can study for as long as you want, from 2 weeks to a year or more! We schedule classes to fit your needs, instead of forcing you to learn when we want you to learn!
* Low cost
We are in the education field because we love teaching and want to spread understanding of Japanese culture, so our courses are priced as low as we can make them. If you find comparable courses cheaper at other Japanese schools, please tell us!

We offer courses in a range of areas, including conversational Japanese, Japanese through pop culture, Japanese culture, and study for exams, all with an emphasis on practical work, inside and outside of the classroom. Class content and teaching style is focused mainly on the needs of Western students, unlike most other language schools. For students coming from overseas to study abroad at our language school, we can prepare a range of accommodation options including homestays, and arrange various activities for the duration of your stay. We're here to make your Japanese learning worthwhile and enjoyable.
