For English language students, we have four primary class types at Four Seasons:
Company Classes are sponsored by corporations (including well-known international companies like Honda and Suzuki, as well as local businesses.) Some of these classes are offered as rewards to employees, like an "after-work" club, and others are required by the management for employees needing to improve English. The students are usually highly motivated.
Private Classes are for just one or sometimes two individuals interested in intensive English study. Sometimes the class is subsidized by the student's company, but often they are paying their own way. In some cases, a private class might be for a particularly gifted child, or a "returnee"--a student who has spent several years overseas and does not want to lose their language skills after their return to Japan.
Community Classes are subsidized in part by Four Seasons as part of our community outreach program. We offer several classes a week for housewives or children or other groups in the community who wish to find an affordable way to study a second language. These are often some of the most fun groups we have.
Children's Classes are also part of Four Season's desire to serve our community. We know that Japanese public schools put tremendous pressure on their students and often teach only reading and writing. We want to give children a change to interact with native speakers in a fun environment with an emphasis on listening and speaking.
