Message from the School Director
Chairperson: Tomoko Ishizawa
I look forward to building the future together.
The foundation of our school is Ai Corporation, which I manage. Our company primarily focuses on the fashion industry and mobile app gaming business, and we continue to grow steadily while expanding our trade with countries around the world, especially in Asia.
With the desire to support the first steps of those who dream of an international career, we established this school.
Under a well-established support system, our graduates who have acquired Japanese at this school have achieved excellent results and are actively engaged in their respective fields of further education and employment.
We warmly welcome all of you who are full of ambition and a spirit of challenge, and we look forward to building the future together.
The staff and I are sincerely looking forward to the day we can meet you at the entrance ceremony.
