KCP is the whole package.

Rachel from 2013

If you are in doubt, don’t be! KCP has far exceeded my expectations. Also, spend the little extra to be in a host family. I received so many more invaluable experiences and more chances to practice my Japanese than those in the dorms.

The dorm manager and staff were the best.

Gavon from 2013

The Summer Short Term Cultural excursion was fun and interesting. It was a great way to experience a small part of Japan, especially for those who have never been to Japan before.

I was confident that KCP would help me improve my Japanese.

Anthony from 2013

I most enjoyed the field trip to Hakone Shrine, Odawara Castle, and Owakudani. Not only did we get to see some beautiful places, we also played Jan Ken Pon Derby and watched part of Princess Mononoke on the bus!

I had a great time.

Meriam from 2013

I enjoyed interacting with the other students from the asian programs and meeting people, since we are all trying to learn Japanese we all try to use what we learn on each other as well as teach others about ourselves.

KCP is a very well-organized and professional program.

Michiel from 2013

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.

It is definitely one of the greatest programs I know.

Veena from 2013

This is for serious students only, but it is very effective for those who want to learn Japanese seriously and efficiently.

Testimonials

I selected this program because it allows me to use my student loans to attend, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to have this experience. I also wanted a challenge and to improve my fluency as fast as possible. The pace at KCP is challenging but helps me focus.
