Immersion Programs
Below is a list of schools we found in the United States that offer Japanese language immersion programs. Japanese immersion programs can consist of any percent of certain classes, or parts of a school day (or combination there of) being taught completely in Japanese. Immersion programs are considered to be the most effective road to fluency among young learners of a foreign language.
If you have any questions about a particular program, please contact the school directly and if you have information on a school not on the list, please contact jflaeducation@jflalc.org.
