Reliability & Trustworthy Achievements

The Sendagaya Japanese Institute Group has received high evaluations from numerous public institutions both domestically and internationally, and received several accreditations.

MEXT
Preparatory Education Courses

In order to enroll in Japanese universities, it is necessary to have completed at least 12 years of education in one’s home country. For countries that do not require 12 years to complete secondary education, completing the Preparatory Education Course designated by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) grants the student qualification to enter a Japanese university. There are only about 30 Japanese language schools nationwide that have obtained accreditation for this Preparatory Education Course, and Sendagaya Japanese College is one of the few schools that have received this accreditation.

Ministry of Justice

Japanese language schools undergo strict inspections by the Immigration Services Agency of the Ministry of Justice, including visa application status and student management evaluations. These rigorous inspections help maintain a high standard of Japanese language education institutions where international students can study with reassurance. All three schools in Sendagaya Japanese Institute Group are Notification Schools of the Ministry of Justice and have been certified as appropriate schools.

Agency for Cultural Affairs

The Agency for Cultural Affairs is a Japanese government agency aimed at promoting Japanese culture. The Sendagaya Group has been entrusted with various educational projects related to Japanese language education by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
