There are over 760 universities and graduate schools and over 3,000 vocational schools in Japan. ISI holds many events and special lectures every year to help students choose a school of higher education that suits them best, so that they can realize their dreams for the future. In addition, highly specialized career advisors and homeroom teachers work together to support students in their pursuit of higher education.
With our track record and know-how of producing many graduates to prestigious universities and graduate schools, we guide students to success with our highly specialized guidance. We thoroughly accompany each student individually, and enhance students’ exam preparation skills through detailed guidance on how to write paperwork for each school application and how to conduct interviews. The homeroom teachers and the Career Center at the Head Office work together to provide efficient and effective support to boost students’ ability to pass the entrance exam, while working together to determine what is needed to achieve their goals, leading them to success at their first choice of school.
Each ISI Japanese language school has a collection of information materials (application guidelines, etc.) on universities, graduate schools, and vocational schools throughout Japan, which can be freely accessed. By covering information on schools in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Kansai region, and all over the country, students will be able to gather information that will help them choose a career path, and then find the school that best suits their needs through careful consultation with their academic advisor.
Special lectures on higher education are held according to the schedule of entrance examinations, such as “Application Documents Preparation Lecture,” “Reason Statement Writing Lecture,” “Graduate School Application Preparation Lecture,” “Interview Preparation Lecture,” etc. Students who wish to enter graduate school can also participate in ” Graduate School Special Lectures” with graduate school professors. We will guide students through each course according to their career path.
Popular universities and vocational schools hold events where they prepare booths just for ISI students to hear explanations about their schools. The events are a valuable opportunity for students to hear directly from university professors and others about the school’s features and entrance examinations.
University tours will also be held from time to time, and students will be able to participate in campus tours and trial classes. We will also participate in college fairs where many graduate schools, universities, and vocational schools, including JASSO, will exhibit!
At the Intermediate II level and above, students can take elective lessons in preparation for graduate school entrance, the EJU exam, and the JLPT exam. Students will acquire the necessary examination preparation and Japanese language skills to enter higher education in Japan. In addition, the Takadanobaba and Kyoto Schools* have special classes for those who wish to enter prestigious universities and graduate schools in Japan. These classes progress faster than the regular curriculum, and every year many students go on to enter prestigious universities and graduate schools.
ISI has received designated school recommendation slots from higher education institutions throughout Japan, and many students take advantage of these slots. Not only is the examination process simplified compared to the general entrance examination (e.g., screening of documents and interview only), but students are also eligible for tuition reductions and scholarships.
In addition, if you wish to enter an ISI Group university or vocational school (Beijing Language and Culture University Tokyo Campus, Tokyo Business and Language College, Nagano Business and Language College), there are application privileges only for ISI students, and we have a full support system including preparation of application documents and visa renewal.

*The above data also includes results from the Newline Tokyo school.
I studied at Takadanobaba School for two years. The teachers were very patient with me in class. The facilities are spacious and well-equipped, so I was able to use many on-campus facilities for self-study and study very efficiently. I am currently enrolled in the General Studies Department at the University of Tokyo, but in my senior year I will be assigned to the Engineering Department to study specialized knowledge. I am interested in environmental issues, so in the future I would like to research plastics that have the least environmental impact.
I wanted to go to college in Japan, so I studied in the Top University Preparation Class at Takadanobaba School, and I think ISI’s information and guidance regarding higher education is perfect. The teachers are very knowledgeable about entrance exam preparation and provide step-by-step guidance, allowing students to prepare without worry. In the future, I would like to promote equal opportunities for women through data analysis and work toward a society without disparities.
The Kyoto campus is very beautiful and the teachers are kind and I always consulted with them when I had problems. The reason why I decided to pursue higher education in Japan is because AI research has cross-disciplinary aspects, such as brain science and robotics research, and cross-disciplinary research is being conducted in Japan. I believe that academic exchange is very active and the educational system is well established. In the future, I would like to become a professor or a researcher at a university.
The ISI professor checked the Japanese of my research proposal and rewrote it many times. Being able to write it down convincingly and properly made it much easier to explain my research when I met with my professor. In graduate school, I would like to research systems that can recognize faces. I believe that if this technology can be applied, robots will be able to further replace human work.
ISI Japanese Language School has a high-quality Japanese language education with students from more than 60 countries.
Many international students, including those recommended by HOSEI University, are enrolled through ISI group.
I always feel that ISI teachers and Career advisors at the Career Center provide detailed support for their students to overcome our competitive entrance examinations at both universities and graduate schools.
I hope from now onwards ISI will continue to educate excellent international students and contribute to the world.
