Through exciting and informative activities as well as routine daily life in a Japanese and English bilingual and bi-cultural environment, participants will foster a heightened awareness of and sensitivity to cultural diversity. This is a program for middle school and high school students from Japan, the US, and the rest of the world, with options for both in-residence and commuting participants. Keio Academy will be celebrating their 11th time conducting this program by adding special events!

The Summer program includes lessons in Japanese or English in a classroom setting, and students of any Japanese/English language ability are welcome, from the beginner to advanced level. In addition to language classes, there are electives in literature, history, art, or culture, as well as Cultural Workshops, and many opportunities for interaction and learning outside of the classroom, including Off-Campus Activities and Field Trips such as visiting historical landmarks, watching Broadway musicals, and making corporate visits to US-based Japanese companies such as restaurants, hotels, media companies, and airlines.

Keio Academy encourages participants to stay in their residences, as they believe it helps promote community building. Each room accommodates two participants, and they do their best to pair Japanese and American students together in order to encourage bi-cultural exchange. They offer residence hall activities such as ice cream-making, tie-dyeing, team-building exercises, and arts and crafts. The buffet-style cafeteria serves three hot meals a day of both American and Japanese cuisine.
