Q: What are the expectations for English levels?
Students are expected to be capable "English-Speakers", with an understanding of English sufficient enough to allow them to participate with enjoyment in all activities and follow directions safely. Students are expected to use the common language of English while on the NIS campus, and may be asked to withdraw from the program (or denied enrollment) if it is deemed that the English level of the student does not qualify for full participation.
Q: Can we pay cash on the first day?
No. Parents must pay via credit card at the time of applying. There are no exceptions.
Q: What should my child wear to the program?
Comfortable clothes and shoes/sneakers are recommended. On any given day of the program, students will be participating in a range of activities- from sports to arts and crafts. Crocs are not recommended.
Q: Does NIS provide a transportation option for summer program students to/from the school?
New this year, NIS does offer a shuttle bus service to and from Kozoji station for ¥10,000 per session. Students must register for the bus for the entire session (i.e. not daily). Students can also be dropped-off and picked-up by an adult each day, using the Upper (Main) parking lot. We encourage parents to carpool as much as possible.
Q: Is it possible for parents of summer program students to tour the NIS campus and facilities before the summer program?
Yes, tours are available for interested parents. Please contact summerprogram@nis.ac.jp to set up an appointment. Likewise, parents of Summer Program participants wishing for an opportunity to learn more about NIS as an option for enrollment during the school year, are asked to please contact the Admissions & Development Office or stop in and speak with us!
