Can't go wrong this these guys
September 15, 2025by: Krzysztof Markowicz - PolandProgram: Meiji Academy - Summer Course in HokkaidoRight from the start I felt like being at home. Super cozy environment with students from more than 15 countries (that's about what I counted). Each of my five classmates was from another country, mostly Europeans with one Korean girl. The atmosphere was very engaging and the teachers did their best to support us. The best thing about Meiji was the strong focus on communicative lessons paired with a lot of grammar drills we had. Sometimes I asked for homework and the teachers were happy to provide us but that's not the requirement. The activities and events outside of the classrooms were also plenty with a lot of cultural engagements and exchange events with local Japanese students. I loved it and it was much fun. Can't say anything else then you should also try it. Thanks to all the amazing people I met and hope to see you again.
Something I won't forget so quick!
September 08, 2025by: Kiera Daubney - AustraliaProgram: Meiji Academy - Summer Course in HokkaidoI had much fun in Hokkaido with this lovely bunch of people and a school that centers literally everything around community and activities. Not to forget the Japanese studies are truly high quality. I stayed in the private apartment but heard only good things about all the sharehouses they had. Went there once for a birthday party and it was crazy fun. Can't recommend this school enough. Give it a try!
Best study group and best Summer of my life
September 07, 2025by: William Ferraro - AustraliaProgram: Meiji Academy - Summer Course in HokkaidoThis was a rollercoaster I wouldn't want to miss. The program was well organized and our instructors went the extra mile to take good care of us. I loved the trips they organized for us and the classes were intense but fun. Highly recommend.
