We're thrilled to finally be able to announce the return next fall of
our free afterschool Japanese language, culture and career exposure program for DC public high school students
JAPANESE PLUS
September 2022-May 2023
It's been a long wait, due to COVID, but we're getting ready to come back with our popular Japanese Plus program next school year, thanks to a generous grant from the US-Japan Foundation.
This is a fun but intensive program that meets twice a week throughout the school year - one weekday after school (possibly virtual) and Saturday mornings (and some Saturday afternoons). Students who will be 9th, 10th, or 11th graders next school year in either a DCPS or DC public charter school are eligible to apply.
Japanese Plus is a great program for students with a passion for Japan and an interest in possibly including Japan in their future college, career, and life plans.
We are beginning the student application process now, before the school year ends. Any student with interest or possible interest in Japanese Plus should take the following two steps IMMEDIATELY:
1/ Check our Japanese Plus website with information on the program, as well as a student blog. This should give you a feel for the program and why students love it!
