Ask about requirements & costs →AFC International Academy (AFC国際学院) is in Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City — a Shinkansen stop about an hour from Tokyo and Nagoya, and 1.5 hours from Kyoto. Opened in April 2023 by AFC-HD AMS Life Science Co., Ltd., its building houses classrooms and a dormitory together, so international students live right where they study.
Two further-study programs are offered: an 18-month course (October intake, 1,200 hours) building toward JLPT N2 and leading to university or vocational school, and a 2-year course (April intake, 1,600 hours) building toward JLPT N1 and leading to university or graduate school. In October 2025, the Nagoya Regional Immigration Services Bureau designated the school an "Appropriate School (Class II)."
