High School Credit Programs | Grades 9-12

***Note our new Sunday start date and scheduled drop-off and pick-up times for residential programs (times to be scheduled after registration is complete).

***A COVID-19 surcharge of $75/week will be applied to all residential sessions in addition to the prices listed to cover the additional medical, facilities and staffing costs incurred.

The credit villagers participate a project and task-based curriculum. The first two weeks, you will complete a project together with your classmates. The second half of the session, you will complete an individual or small group project and present it to your peers in Japanese.

Even our beginning students are comfortable doing this, and fully capable at the end of four weeks! Villagers at Mori no Ike naturally become strongly supportive of one another and enjoy helping each other learn.

Our high school credit program is open to students entering grades 9-12 of all levels of language proficiency, including beginners.
