When you choose a Japanese language school, you want to know that you are choosing a school you can trust. GenkiJACS is proud to be recognized by leading organizations and institutions in Japan and around the world.
Our accreditations, awards, and partnerships reflect our commitment to providing high-quality Japanese language education and a great experience for our students. From government recognition and international accreditation to awards voted for by students and industry professionals, we are proud of the recognition GenkiJACS has received over the years.
Since 2015, GenkiJACS’ Fukuoka Japanese school is fully accredited by the Japanese government to provide student visas for long-term study. The detailed and exacting accreditation process means you can trust that our teachers and courses meet the government’s high standards. The benefits of studying on a student visa include longer stays, work rights, and student discounts. In addition, our Nagoya branch is accredited through our partner school I.C.NAGOYA.
