Our classes are divided into 'tracks', allowing us to teach children and adults of all backgrounds in the Japanese language. One track is for learners of Japanese as a Heritage Language (JHL), designed for students who regularly hear and speak Japanese in their home environments.

Our classes also include a variety of cultural activities and events, as well as opportunities to take additional cultural classes such as Japanese flower arrangement for adults, or Japanese calligraphy.

Since becoming an independent school, OCG has been fortunate to have the guidance of a team of curriculum advisors from California State University Long Beach. Our new advisors have helped to construct an innovative and highly effective approach to teaching Japanese.
