KCP is a very well-organized and professional program.

Michiel from 2013

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

The speech contest was a good way for me to work on something a bit more complicated and long than the things we normally write for class.

Which co-curriculum classes did you find most satisfying?

The cooking clubs were a fun way to practice Japanese with some of the higher classmates while learning about Japanese culture.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

It's important to me above all that my fundament is now a lot better. I've always found conversations to be difficult because I had a much more limited array of grammatical structures memorized.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

The most helpful was certainly the ability to listen to someone explain the grammar in a sensible and illuminating fashion.

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
