Message From Our Principal

From NAGOYA to the world, from the world to NAGOYA

People from various countries learn language and culture at I.C.NAGOYA in order to spread their wings around the world. In order to meet this need, I.C.NAGOYA has continued to pursue the importance of communication through language education and cross-cultural understanding for over 40 years since its predecessor, the Sony Language Laboratory Nagoya School, which opened in 1982.

 

“Transcending nationality, gender and age, improve communication skills, develop human resources who can think and act from a global perspective, and contribute to local and international societies.”

 

This is the philosophy of I.C.NAGOYA, and the ideal that both faculty and students aspire to. We value the relationship between people, and believe that true language education is not only about linguistic knowledge, but also about conveying the awareness and way of thinking behind words. All the faculty and staff continue to work hard to provide an environment that values the individuality of each learner and fulfills their goals.

Takayuki Suzuki, Principal of I.C.NAGOYA
