Alongside our internationally focused curriculum taught in English, NLCS Kobe offers a carefully designed Japanese curriculum delivered by our qualified native Japanese teachers.
The programme ensures students develop strong reading, writing, and communication skills and understanding of Japanese heritage. Japanese language and literature are taught across the school, allowing students to become fluent, confident, and culturally grounded whilst still benefiting from a global outlook. In practice this looks like:
These opportunities help students appreciate how culture shapes values, behaviour, and identity—offering insights and experiences available only within our NLCS Kobe community.
This means you can trust that students at NLCS Kobe will receive a world-class international education while being deeply connected to Japan’s linguistic and cultural foundations. We give students the best of both worlds: global readiness rooted in a strong sense of Japanese identity.
Since opening, a number of these events have already taken place, you can see a selection of these below.
