Bilingual Private Schools in Japan
Bilingual Private Schools
Young children come to Language House hearing both English and Japanese.
We have a small group of experienced Japanese and foreign teachers who work together to foster a rich bilingual environment. Our in-house curriculum centers around songs, dances, games, and art from around the world. We support working parents who wish to educate their children in a bilingual environment by providing them with the necessary toilet training, daily living habits and manners for meals. During early childhood, the foundation of communication skills are being built. Our preschool program will help your child learn to communicate well in the future. Our bilingual childcare program expands the potential of children to become strong, globally-minded Japanese.

Bilingual Preschool
Bilingual Exposure
At our Preschool, our international teachers are an active participant in every part of your child’s day. As a result, ILH preschoolers will increase their English vocabulary, phonics, and listening abilities alongside Japanese.
Scientifically Tested
Our bilingual education starts when children reach 1.7 months. At this age, a child’s neural foundation of language begins to form. As a result, this is the best time period to develop a brain that can switch between Japanese and English.
Self-Expression
Our curriculum focuses on singing, dancing, and art from around the world as well as here in Japan. We encourage self-expression and appreciation of all cultures.
