Youth Immersion (Tokyo-E): Description of schedule
Before your departure to Japan, you will received host family information and
airport pickup information,
trip leader contacts and pre-departure guide.
We will pick up students at the Tokyo Narita International Airport on the
Arrival day (July 14). Group stays at a city hotel for group gathering and
rest (hotel stay included in program fee).
Next day (Sunday), students meet host families at Opening Ceremony in Hotel,
then go with the families to their house.
Monday (July 16), host families will buy commuting pass (pass included in
program fee) for you, take you to class and show you how to commute.
Placement test will be taken to determine your level and classes.
Classes official start on July 16th. Below is daily class schedule:
10: 20 am-11: 05 am, 11: 15 am-12:00 pm, 12: 10 pm-12:55 pm, 2:00 pm-2:45 pm,
2:55 pm-3: 40 pm
Lunch hour is between 12:55 pm to 2:00 pm. After afternoon lessons, many
students like to have their own time together in the city before going back to
host family's house for dinner. Students spend the evenings with the
host family.
Teachers and trip leaders will monitor students arrival at classes, and host
families will monitor students getting back to their house. No language
classes when group trip or culture activities is scheduled on that day, there
are two day trips scheduled in the program, culture activities include
calligraphy.
On weekends, host families will stay with students to show them Japanese
culture, bring them to parties, family events, meet new friends and for trips
they arranged.
On August 3 (Friday), Sayonara party hosted at School, students showcase their
learning and celebrate with the host families.
Aug 4 (Saturday), host families bring students to the city hotel for Closing
ceremony and say good bye to host families, dining for the group in the evening.

fly back home.

Culture Discovery: Description of schedule
Before your departure to Japan, you will received host family information and
airport pickup information,
and pre-departure guide.
School staff will pick up students at the Tokyo Narita International Airport on the
Arrival day (Saturday). Then students will be sent to host family's house
by taxi.
On
Monday, you will come to orientation by yourself (you can find directions on the
information we sent you), but do not buy your commuting pass yet, as the
classroom location will be determined by your level and you may have to get off
from a different station nearby. You will have the orientation session and
take a placement test.
Depends on your level, you will attend either lessons in the morning from
9:10-12:40 pm, or in the afternoon from 1:30 pm or 5:00 pm. Lunch hour is
between 12:40 pm to 1:30 pm. Depends on the day, there is either culture
activities or free time for the rest of the half day.
Saturday is usually school organized day trips and Sunday is free. At the
end of the program (and middle of the program for Tokyo C), there is a three day
long haul trip to either Fuji Mountain or Kyoto. You will get back from
the long haul trip on the last Friday and say with your host family for the last
night.
On next day (Saturday morning), you will leave your host family's house to the
airport, please note that airport drop off is NOT arranged.
