JST's Collaborative Approach to Student Success

BRIDGING THE GAP

Navigating the world of study abroad can be overwhelming, especially when embarking on a journey to Japan. From selecting the perfect school to navigating visa applications, finding your footing in a new culture can feel daunting.
Unfortunately, even the best Japanese language schools don't generally have the staffing to give each potentially incoming student careful help or resources in English.

Recognizing this gap, JST emerged as a bridge between students and Japanese language schools. While schools excel at providing language instruction, they often lack the resources or manpower to offer personalized support for each student's unique needs. This is where JST steps in, providing individualized guidance throughout the entire process.

For students, JST acts as a trusted partner, offering invaluable assistance in:

Language School Coordinators +

While students receive our language school coordination services free of charge, language school coordinators like JST are compensated by the schools themselves to help students navigate the intricate application process, and leave the schools to what they do best: teach Japanese.

We recognize the need for additional life services support, which we offer for a small fee.

This includes assistance with medical matters, bureaucracy, visas, housing, banking, and phone plans. This system allows schools to outsource tasks they aren't equipped to handle themselves, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience for students. This is how the language school system in Japan operates, fostering a win-win situation for both students and schools.
