Support and dormitory system that let students concentrate on studying without anxiety
Located in the eastern part of Tokyo, dormitories of Toyo Language School are a short distance away from Tokyo Disneyland. The dormitories are within bicycle range of the school, the nearest one being five minutesﾕ ride and the remotest one fifteen minutesﾕ. There are 186 rooms including private singles and two-person suites, accommodating 280 persons. Students are required to live in the dormitories at least six months and may stay up to two years. (Renewal applications must be submitted every six months.) Those who get used to life in Japan after a six-month dormitory stay may choose to leave their dormitory rooms and rent private apartments. All new students are guaranteed dormitory housing if they apply for it. Dormitory rooms are furnished with refrigerators, beds, desks, chairs, air-conditioners, and heaters. Brand-new daily necessities such as futon sets (covers, frames, and mattresses), dishes, cups, and tissue paper are available for newly enrolled students, who can just pop in with their suitcases and start their life in Japan.
■Words from the boarding
master: "We are committed to making our student's
stay in Japan enjoyable."
■ "I'm happy to see the beaming
smiles of every student."
All the students in the dormitories are cheerful and donﾕt
get homesick. Many of them enjoy talking to one another
or watching TV together in the assembly room. Students
prepare meals on their own in shared kitchens as well
as do their own laundry and the cleaning. We have notices
posted for newcomers, providing information such as the
location of nearby supermarkets and what to do in the
event of sudden illness. More importantly, elder students
always help new students solve their uncertainties and
problems. Most students are very busy with their study
and part-time jobs. Since they learn to obey the rules
of communal living in the dormitories and get used to
Japanese life, culture, and customs, I believe that students
have no difficulty living on their own after leaving the
dormitories. What makes me the most pleased is to see
the beaming smiles of every student.
