Why it is in this guide

An explicitly parent-accompanied option from age six, with the crucial tuition-only boundary clearly stated.

Who it may suit

Families comfortable organising their own afternoons, local transport and accommodation around morning English.

What to weigh up

The standard 6–11 price is not an all-day camp. Activity packages for younger children are on request; the 12–17 activity/residential package cannot be assumed available to a six-year-old.

Operating history and evidence

Official junior material from 2024 and the 2026 price list support recurring operation. Language International hosts nine junior-programme reviews, including a parent-style report praising children's practice but noting discomfort in the neighbourhood; LanguageCourse.net has a review noting a wide age/ability spread. Samples are small and commercial-platform hosted, and do not isolate the current 6–11 class.

Age, language and eligibility

Visiting international children are specifically accepted without local-school enrolment; ages 6–11 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Separate adult classes are available; verify whether a parent must also enrol for the chosen arrangement. Younger classes use age-appropriate activities and may mix English levels; the 12–17 packages specify elementary to advanced, so confirm a complete beginner's placement rather than applying teen requirements to younger children.

What the days look like

20 lessons of 50 minutes weekly, about 16.7 hours. Younger learners have classroom activities; the exact daily times and any afternoon activities need confirmation for the booked week.

Parents, accommodation and transport

Family homestay or apartment help depends on party size and availability. Some homestays are advertised 45–60 minutes from school, so ask for the actual journey before committing. Tokyo families need a trans-Pacific travel and jet-lag buffer; flights are not included.

Included costs and the family budget

Historical 2026 child tuition-only: US$520/week in summer or US$495/week in winter, plus US$185 registration; the list shows required insurance at US$40/week. Housing, parent study, activities, transport and flights are additional. Request new 2027 prices.

Before you book

Confirm the 6–11 operating weeks, beginner provision, group ages, parent-enrolment condition, pickup arrangements and route between lodging and school. Weekly seasonal study can be planned for two or more weeks only after confirming the child-course dates and minimum stay; check any US entry requirements against the actual study plan.

Cancellation and refunds

Current California terms: tuition cancelled before or on the start date is refundable less US$250 non-refundable enrolment/service fees. Housing has separate penalties: under 30 days' notice may cost two weeks or greater third-party charges. Confirm the applicable family-course contract.
