7 reasons to choose WCES
⏰
① Overwhelming English exposure time with up to 6 days a week
We ensure that students have the time to be exposed to English, something that is often lacking in Japanese school education alone. Rather than just "studying English," we create an environment where students "spend time in English."
⚖️
② Value the Japanese language
Balanced learning
We place importance not only on learning English, but also on developing Japanese. We support a learning environment that provides the optimal balance between English and Japanese. We also accept children who are not native Japanese speakers.

A variety of courses to suit your needs, from children to adults
After School
Enjoy Course
Target audience: Preschool to 6th grade
Time: 4 hours (after school to 6:00 PM)
This is an after-school care program where children can enjoy a shower of English after school. It is recommended for children who have just started learning English or who do not normally have an environment where they are exposed to English.
After School
Academic Courses
Target audience: Preschool to 6th grade
Time: 4 hours (after school - 6:00 PM)
One hour of English after-school time is dedicated to academic classes where children learn in English, aiming to improve their English skills. We incorporate hands-on lessons such as learning using original teaching materials, crafts, and exercise.
Baby English
Target: Infants and toddlers (must be accompanied by a guardian)
Time: 1 hour (Monday, Tuesday, Friday 10:00-11:00)
This is an introductory class where children become familiar with English through play using songs, games, picture books, etc. Objective: To build a foundation for English learning while having fun together with parents from the time the child is a baby.
Three reasons to choose WCES
We are currently taking the Enjoy Course. I feel at ease knowing that they will come and pick up my child from the elementary school when they are done. The class size is small and the atmosphere is homey, so my child seems to enjoy going to school. I think it's great that the teachers speak to my child in English, allowing him to be exposed to everyday English.
After confirming through the trial lesson that I could receive lessons that would help me master English, I started attending the academic course once a week.
The teachers are all very kind and the atmosphere is homely, so I feel safe leaving my child there. My child is enjoying going to the center, so I plan to increase the number of lessons to three times a week.
My child is in the middle year of kindergarten and attends the Enjoy Course once a week. There are many elementary school-aged children, but he seems to like the free play environment and enjoys coming to school. By being exposed to an English environment, he has begun to pay attention to the meaning and pronunciation of English words. It is also helpful that he can be looked after until 6:00 PM.
