SCHOOL
Introduction
Toyo Language School (TLS) is a Japanese language school operated by the Jikei Gakuen Group, with its campus located in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo.
To thrive in today’s rapidly globalizing society, it is essential to “embrace change without fear.” Recognizing yourself accurately, identifying areas for growth, and proactively adapting—this is what true growth is all about.
Through our unique “JCT Education System” and a Japanese language curriculum that integrates five key language skills, TLS fosters practical knowledge application, independence, and teamwork. In doing so, we empower each student to grow and achieve a “happy future.”
Accredited Japanese Language Education Institution by MEXT
In May 2026, TLS was officially certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as an “Accredited Japanese Language Educational Institution” under the Act on the Accreditation of Japanese Language Educational Institutions. This certification serves as official proof from the Japanese government that our educational programs, learning environment, and teaching faculty meet strict national standards.
Under a trusted educational framework backed by government certification, we are fully committed to providing international students with a secure, high-quality Japanese language education. Our goal is to help students acquire practical skills that directly support their future academic pursuits, career opportunities, and life in Japan.
Curriculum policy
At Toyo Language School (TLS), our educational philosophy is based on encouraging students to “discover, think, and express themselves independently.” Through daily Japanese language learning, we foster the ability for students to act autonomously in society.
To put this philosophy into practice, we provide the following unique system and curriculum:
