History of WFLC

We provide a global environment for international exchange together with the Department of English.

WFLC was opened on April 1st, 1992 after receiving certification as a technical college by the governor of Tokyo. The school is a subsidiary of Konan Gakuen alongside Waseda Zeminar, a special vocational school with nearly a half-century of experience preparing students for entrance to university. WFLC was founded in recognition of the need for internationally-minded people, and aims to provide the means for young adults to equip themselves with practical computer knowledge for business, and the language skills necessary for effective international communication.

Our graduates continued to find success in financial fields such as international banking and stock trading, as well as at international hotels and trading and manufacturing companies. In April of 2000, our Japanese department was opened to offer courses for international students on both Japanese language and Japanese culture. As a result, our students have ample opportunity to interact and learn with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds.

Special Features

From university to work, we will help you discover your future

At our school, student goals include not only entrance into university or specialized colleges, but also finding work, both in Japan or in students’ own countries. Thanks to our small class numbers, students will find the detailed support and instruction they need.

100% success rate for students seeking continuing education

WFLC offers personalized and detailed assistance for students seeking to enter graduate school, university, or other technical colleges, in the form of mock interviews and assistance in submitting applications and research plans.

Real guidance in career advancement

Our school offers expert guidance on finding work in Japan based on the work of specialists from the Tokyo Employment Service Center for Foreigners, a part of the Japanese public employment service. We will also transport students looking for work to the employment center, assist in registration, and set up one-on-one interviews with job specialists.

Study with Japanese students in the English department

There are a number of Japanese students enrolled in the WFLC English department, located in the same building. This gives students studying Japanese the chance to interact with Japanese students and improve their skills naturally, even outside of class. School-wide events also provide ample opportunity for cross-cultural communication.

Learn English as an auditing or full-time student

Under our auditing program, students can learn both English and Japanese at the same time. Auditing in the English department also allows students to learn Korean, Chinese, or French as an additional language. Students graduating from the Japanese department may also easily move on to the English department. Learning both Japanese and English is a great way to increase career options.
