Naganuma Method helps beginners
As a teaching method, The Naganuma School uses the Naganuma Method developed in the 1940's. The founder of our school, Naoe Naganuma, focused on the enhancement of students' communication skills. His concepts and ideas have been reviewed and renewed, and continue to live in our teaching method and materials.
The Naganuma School is one of the most traditional schools in Japan.
The U.S. Government has adopted our teaching materials for their language teaching programs. Graduates from our school include many well-known researchers and politicians.

To provide effective teaching, we use our own original materials that we have developed. Our e-learning materials are open to the public.

Facilities such as a language laboratory, computer room, library, meeting rooms, cafe, private-study rooms and a Japanese-style room are provided for the students’ convenience.
