Life Support
The life in different customs and lifestyle may be stressful for foreign students.
n our school, we conduct counseling to all students on a regular basis. We also have a staff member who is in charge of counseling that stays at the dormitory. Any students who wish to receive counseling can do so any time. We will stay close to each student, and give full mental support to helping them with their problems, such as difficulty in adapting to life in Japan and relationship with friends.
Also, we will pay attention to the daily health of our student and help their health management.
In our school, we carry out a special lesson of the separating trash as part of the lifestyle guidance. We teach it to students to be able to adapt itself to Japanese life as soon as possible by separating trash.
