The Japanese Acquisition Curriculum
At Fukuoka International Academy, our students study an average of 4 hours a day, for a total of 800 hours per term, or 200 days out of a 365 day year. Our academic goal is to assist all students to achieve a working knowledge of Japanese language skills through a joy of learning; we offer small classes that are composed with students according to their language levels in order to reach their goals. What is more, we provide detailed lessons focusing on how to advance each student’s particular strengths or uniqueness to enhance their Japanese acquisition skills.
