Culture of JAPAN
In Japan, tradition and innovation live side by side. From ancient temples nestled between modern skyscrapers to quiet tea houses just steps away from bustling shopping districts, the country offers a unique blend of old and new.
Japan is deeply rooted in history and culture, yet it continues to lead in technology, design and urban living. Whether you’re wandering through a centuries-old shrine, exploring vibrant cityscapes like Tokyo or Osaka, or relaxing in a peaceful rural town, every corner of Japan tells a story.
To truly understand the beauty and depth of Japanese life, you need to experience it firsthand.
Students in JAPAN
At B.C.-certified offshore schools in Japan, you’ll teach respectful, motivated students in an English-language environment. Most are Japanese nationals who’ve studied English from a young age and aim to study abroad — often at Canadian universities.
Students typically enter the B.C. program in Grade 10 and complete an English assessment for admission. Many also take extra language lessons or prep courses like IELTS or TOEFL.
Families value international education and the opportunities it offers. As a teacher, you’ll be part of a learning-focused culture where students are engaged and curious about Canada and the wider world.
