A New School Year Has Begun in April
With the arrival of April, a new school year has begun.
In Japan, April marks the start of the academic year, making it a season of new classes, new teachers, and new beginnings. This time of change is also a perfect opportunity to reset study habits and build a stronger learning routine.
Let’s start the new school year with a fresh mindset and a positive first step.
Registration for the First Kanken Exam of the 2026 School Year Has Started
Registration for the first Kanken exam of the 2026 school year has now opened.
This is a great opportunity for students to turn their daily learning into a visible achievement.
Studying kanji is not only essential for building a strong foundation in Japanese language ability, but also plays an important role in developing reading comprehension and vocabulary. Having a clear goal such as an official test helps children understand what they need to work on and how far they should aim to go. It can also build confidence and give them a strong sense of accomplishment.
Passing the exam often becomes a major source of encouragement for the next stage of learning as well.
If you are considering taking the test, we encourage you to take this opportunity and give it a try. For more information, please visit the Kanken page on our website.
Registration Is Also Open for the Summer Study Abroad Program in Japan
Applications are also now being accepted for our summer study abroad program in Japan.
This program offers children a valuable opportunity to actually attend school in Japan and experience Japanese education and culture firsthand.
We hope many students will join us in Japan this summer and enjoy this special learning experience together.

For Everyone Learning Japanese in Hawaii
