Winter 2023 Registration Closed

2022-12-17

Online registration for the winter 2023 semester has now closed. If you are still interested in registering, please contact the principal at kouchou@ojls.ca as we may still have available spots depending on your level. However, please note the two points below prior to contacting the principal.

  1. As our curriculum is year-round, those who have participated semester 1 in the past are welcome and encouraged to sign up for semester 2.
  2. We have no plans to open registration for a new Beginner 1 class in the second semester so we are not accepting registrations for complete newcomers to studying Japan for the second semester. Thank you for your understanding.
