About ECC

By Education through Communication for the Community

For the cultural improvement and peace of the world.
This idea has been handed down from the beginning of our founding.

Education is essential to facilitate the various communication activities that connect the world.
At ECC, we are convinced that a deeper understanding of language and acquiring knowledge leads to mutual understanding, which in turn leads to international peace. Since the establishment of the ECC Foreign Language School in 1962, this belief has remained unchanged, and we have researched and developed various educational methodologies founded on our background in English conversation education and provided these methodologies to society at large.
Through communication with local communities, Japanese society, and the global community, we aim to improve culture and world peace while strengthening the spirit of "social community."

We aim to provide an education that enables dreams to come true through Japanese.

Under the slogan of "Beyond the Japanese Language," our primary goal is to help students realize their dreams beyond the acquisition of the Japanese language.
We aim to cultivate comprehensive Japanese language skills so that students can acquire the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a well-balanced manner.
