Japanese Language Classes available at all levels

Our Japanese Language classes are taught by Japanese Native Instructors at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Levels.  Our classes have rolling enrollment (new students can start mid-session) and small class sizes to maximize your learning experience.

How do JASC Language Classes Work?

Our Beginners I and II classes operate in four sessions throughout the year, each session lasting 8 weeks. The Intermediate and Advanced classes run in 8 week sessions, but do not follow a specific curriculum. Class payments cover a full 8-week session. Classes can be joined mid-session at an adjusted price.

There will be two new Beginners I Classes launching in February 2026

Due to the high demand of classes, those who are currently signed up on our waitlist will have priority registration before the class becomes open on our website.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are working towards expanding our class offerings to accommodate more students in the near future.

Thank you for your understanding!
