Before your departure to Japan, you will receive host family information and airport pickup information, and a pre-departure guide.
We will pick up students at the Tokyo Narita International Airport on the Arrival day (Saturday).
On Monday, it is the day of orientation, 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 at a different station nearby.  You will have the orientation session and take a placement test.
Depending 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.  Depending on the day, there are either cultural activities or free time for the rest of the half day.
Saturday is usually an organized day of 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 stay with your host family for the last night.
On the next day (Saturday morning), you will leave your host family's house for the airport, please note that airport drop off is NOT arranged.

Youth Immersion (Tokyo-E): Description of schedule
Before your departure to Japan, you will receive host family information and airport pickup information, trip leader contacts, and a pre-departure guide.
We will pick up students at the Tokyo Narita International Airport on the scheduled arrival day.  The group stays at a city hotel for a group gathering and rest (hotel stay included in program fee).
The next day (Sunday), students meet host families at the Opening Ceremony in the Hotel, then go with the families to their houses.
On Monday, host families will buy a commuting pass (pass included in program fee) for you, take you to class,s and show you how to commute.   A placement test will be taken to determine your level and classes.

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 their 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 houses.  No language classes when group trips or culture activities are 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.

Last Friday, a Sayonara party is hosted at the School, where students showcase their learning and celebrate with the host families.
On Saturday, host families bring students to the city hotel for the Closing ceremony and say goodbye to host families, dining for a group in the evening.
On Sunday, we will send students to the airport for drop-offs, and students will fly back home.
