Benefits of Studying Abroad in the Philippines
Excellent cost performance
Compared to Western countries, tuition and living costs are much lower, and you can take many one-on-one classes, making it extremely cost-effective.
Learn Efficiently with One-On-One Classes
Unlike countries where group classes are the main focus, you can have up to 8 hours of one-on-one classes per day. You can efficiently improve your English skills even in a short period.
A Safe Learning Environment for Beginners
Many schools have Japanese staff on-site, so you can study with peace of mind even if it’s your first time studying abroad or living overseas.
Diverse Courses and Flexible Plans
We offer courses tailored to your goals, including TOEIC and IELTS preparation, business English, and parent-child study abroad, so you can learn according to your needs.
Easy Access from Japan
Flight time is about 4-5 hours. With only about a 1-hour time difference, there’s minimal physical strain, making it easy to take on even short-term study abroad.
When actually considering study abroad, it’s important to compare the characteristics of different schools.
