Amity Schools

Amity schools are exceptional environments.
They are built with a modern design and offer a variety of classes where students can learn new skills in English. Our schools offer Regular Courses that are taught by our Japanese staff and Practical Courses, which are taught by native speakers of English. Our student to teacher ratio is typically three-five with a maximum number of eight students, so we are able to provide students with the most personal attention. We also have multimedia learning centers at the majority of our schools so students are able to learn in dynamic new ways. Finally, students feel comfortable to relax and interact with teachers and students in our inviting reception areas which are filled with useful books, fun toys and creative activities which keep inspiring kids to learn English.

Amity Instruction

Amity sets the absolute highest standards for our students.
Our number one priority is their success. Setting a high standard for our students means setting a high standard for the teachers we recruit. Amity is interested in prospective instructors who are captivated by living in Japan and dedicated to meeting the challenge of learning to become a highly capable educator of English as a second language. We offer a comprehensive training program that encourages our instructors in the classroom so they can meet our students' needs. Amity is dedicated to providing the best English courses for our students.

Amity Curriculum

To achieve our high standard, Amity has focused on creating our own innovative curriculum.

We have worked hard to create our own textbooks, storybooks, audiovisual learning tools and multimedia curriculum for use in our schools. We also have an established curriculum selected from the best textbooks, storybooks, workbooks, and multimedia tools ESL publishers have to offer for our native speaking Practical Course. We aspire for the highest professional standards with our curriculum and for our native speaking teaching staff.

The Future...

At Amity, we are bound to the belief that the development and enrichment of our teachers is the key to our students' improvement.
At Amity, we are a team where each member's interests, experiences, and aspirations are essential to our future. Are you excited about what Amity has to offer you? Please take a moment to read a special message from Amity's Director, Mr. Takato Yamasaki.
