Insider Review of ISI Language School

JST Co-Founder

The school is set amidst a picturesque campus, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in Japan. Students can immerse themselves in their studies within the tranquil ambiance of meticulously maintained and impeccably clean facilities. The institution boasts a rich legacy of welcoming students from Nordic countries, resulting in a predominantly Western student body. Additionally, the school enjoys a robust financial foundation, a testament to its long-standing reputation and commitment to excellence. While financial stability may not be a primary concern for larger and more established language schools, it is a crucial factor for smaller or less well-backed institutions.
