About J PREP

J PREP is a liberal arts after-school cram school based in Shibuya, with branches in Jiyugaoka, Kichijoji, Yotsuya, Yokohama, Mita, Myogadani, Azamino and Sakata (Yamagata Prefecture). J PREP was founded in 2012 by Jun Saito, a former assistant professor of political science at Yale University and the author of several recent bestselling books. J PREP students are between the ages of 3 through 18 and attend top schools in and around Tokyo. Many of our students aspire to study abroad, attend university at high-ranking schools in the United States and other countries, or enter English-oriented domestic programs.

Our highly qualified faculty members are graduates of some of the top liberal arts programs in the US and internationally, and many hold advanced degrees.J PREP is rapidly expanding. Our multimedia curriculum is intended to broaden students' perspectives, and supplemental courses in various liberal arts disciplines (such as literature, economics, and science) are offered periodically. Our long-term mission is to better the overall quality of the Japanese educational system from the bottom up, rather than merely teaching conversational English or preparing students for entrance exams in Japan. As a majority of our faculty members have lived outside Japan, they understand the importance of English as a communication device. For the same reason, J PREP's work environment is not confined by traditional Japanese corporate culture.
