Admission
TWIS’s Motto is “GROW LOCAL, SOAR GLOBAL”.
TWIS nurtures our students’ growth and passions through locally relevant, hands-on education that crosses cultural, digital, and analog boundaries. TWIS students develop a strong sense of self and curiosity to soar to greater heights and possibilities as global citizens.
At TWIS, we provide flexible support for foreign students coming to Japan and returning from overseas, so that they can enroll on the desired date. Also, while staying in Japan it can be great experience to learn not only Japanese language but also Japanese culture and customs as part of learning in an educational system.
