To those who wish to return to school
We promise to provide full support for students who wish to return to higher education.
A vocational school is not just something you can enroll in immediately after graduating from high school.
Anyone over the age of 18, including working adults, part-time workers, university students, and junior college students, can learn even if they have no experience and achieve their dream job.
Why not study alongside the many seniors who have returned to school for a variety of reasons, such as "I've found my dream," "It was always my dream," "I want to change my career," or "I want to acquire skills," and turn your passion into a job?
let's go!

Voices of current students who re-enrolled
Current students who re-entered
- university
- Returning to school
Together with kind and encouraging teachers and classmates who share the same aspirations, I am working hard towards my dreams for the future.
I wanted to study what I really wanted to do, so I decided to go back to school to pursue a career where I could see customers smile through coffee, which I have always loved. I'm not good at jumping into new things or new environments, and I was very worried about the age difference and the homeroom teacher system. However, once I enrolled, I found that the teachers were kind to each and every student, and I am now enjoying a fulfilling and enjoyable student life while cooperating with my classmates.
Graduates who re-entered
- junior college
- Returning to school
The distance between teachers and students is just right, and the atmosphere in the school and classes is homey.
I studied childcare at junior college, but after meeting children with allergies during my internship, I decided I wanted to make allergy-friendly cakes that everyone could eat safely. When I first enrolled, I was worried about the atmosphere at school and in my classes, but since many of my classmates were also repeating their studies, it was easy to talk to them as friends with the same dream, regardless of age, and I felt that it was a good decision to repeat my studies.
Scholarship students who re-entered
- Part-time worker
- Returning to school
I decided to go back to school to get a chance to pursue the career I wanted in the future. I was able to clearly communicate my aspirations and was accepted as a scholarship student.
The deciding factor for me to go back to school was that I was attracted to the fact that it is a vocational school with strong ties to various companies, and I thought that if I studied again here, I would have a better chance of getting the job I wanted. I also found out that I could apply for a scholarship program that would exempt me from part of my tuition fees, so before enrolling, I participated in an event held at the school and organized my thoughts about wanting to go back to school and the manners I should keep in mind during the interview, before taking the exam and successfully passing the scholarship program.
