Graduation Ceremony and Party were held on March 12. More than 100 students graduated from NILS on that day. Most of them go on to colleges, universities, and vocational schools in Japan from this coming April. Some start working fulltime in Japan, and a few others go back to their home country to get jobs with their language skills they learned at NILS.

Graduation means the completion of the course, but it also refers to a new step for a student to a new life. They learned Japanese language for 1-2 years at NILS, and they can now communicate with us like the native Japanese people. It is amazing that they use the Japanese language fluently with only 1-2 years of study. Many of them started from the very beginner’s level. Some didn’t even know hiragana and katakana at the time of enrollment. I believe they made great efforts day by day so that they could be fluent in Japanese language.
We are very proud of our students, and we hope all of them will have prosperous future.
