Many students don’t get the chance to study Japanese until high school, making it tough to reach advanced fluency before graduation.

At the Well-Trained Mind Academy, our Japanese IA course is specifically engineered for students in grades 6–9!

https://www.wtmacademy.com/course/japanese-ia/

By starting in 7th or 8th grade, your student can comfortably progress all the way through Japanese 4 by 12th grade.

Imagine the confidence of a high school graduate with four full years of advanced Japanese language and culture under their belt!

🇯🇵 Why WTMA Japanese?

* Live Interaction: Students practice speaking, listening, and reading in real-time.

* Small Class Sizes: Capped at 15 students for personalized attention.

* Accredited Program: Fully accredited by MSA-CESS.
