Solid track record since 1987.
GEC & JAAC (Japan-America Academic Center) have been supporting study abroad programs at high schools and universities worldwide for nearly 40 years since its establishment in 1987. We contribute to the promotion and development of international education through various programs, including high powered, multi-year counseling and university admission utilizing scholarships and high school exchange programs. Our mission is to support young people, who will lead the future, to experience different cultures, broaden their perspectives, and take the first step towards success globally.
A study abroad experience that fosters language skills and adaptability, leading to a brighter future.
Leading up to the application process, our students benefit from ongoing coaching and preparation-support for one or more years through the efforts of our experienced student consultants. You'll need essays, you'll need extracurriculars, you'll need to explore majors, schools, careers and earnings potential, and you'll need to deverlop you own poise and personal definitions over time in order to do so. We encourage students, we support them, we upbuild them and we prepare them thoroughly every step of the way. We provide practical admission support realized through scholarship programs and transfer assistance.
Boarding schools offer non-repayable scholarship programs for students with excellent academics, arts, or sports, or those in need of financial assistance.
American universities offer non-repayable grant scholarships for students with excellent academic records, arts, sports, or leadership skills, or those in need of financial assistance.
Motivated by a love for English and a desire to broaden her life, she decided to study abroad in Australia under the influence of her family. Although she had anxieties, she was supported by the kindness of the locals and gained not only English proficiency but also the courage to challenge herself and a positive mindset. It was a truly fun and growth-filled experience.
Through 10 months of study abroad in Victoria, Canada, I experienced human connections and many challenges. I learned from failures, became unafraid to challenge myself, and gained confidence and positivity. It was an irreplaceable 10 months where I truly felt not only my English skills but also my personal growth.
Through studying abroad, I acquired not only language skills but also initiative and the ability to think for myself. I began to deeply consider my career path and future, and my independence was fostered. Experiencing subjects and daily life habits not available in Japan provided valuable time for self-reflection.
