Cafeteria

The school is shared with the British and International School of Boston, another school in the International Campus Boston, so students can see daily interactions. Three meals a day are provided on weekdays, and two meals on weekends and holidays. You can choose as much as you like from the main dish to the salad bar.

Rainbow hall

The Rainbow Hall, which can accommodate 300 people, is a small auditorium used by Showa Boston and the British School for ceremonies and cultural events. It is also equipped with a full-scale pipe organ. During opening and graduation ceremonies, the hall is filled with colorful lights, vividly lighting up the auditorium.

Tea room/Japanese garden

The teahouse, named "Sanshashi-an" after the Japanese name for the Mayflower, is where students sometimes hold tea ceremonies. In the Japanese garden, which features a pond and paving stones, the flowers that bloom throughout the seasons inform visitors of the coming of the seasons.

Faculty/Student support staff

The academic department, which is responsible for the curriculum and lectures, and the student services department, which provides support for daily life, jointly plan and manage the study program.

Academic - Academic Department

Our English teachers are graduate school graduates and TESOL certified, and have ample experience teaching Japanese students. We also have many part-time instructors from local universities in Boston. Our classes, which include topics such as music, theater, current events in the U.S., education, and TOEIC strategies, are easy for anyone to understand, and you can learn about Boston culture while improving your language skills.

Student Services Department

Student Services – Student Services

We provide support for all aspects of life in Boston. In cooperation with the Residential Community Coordinator (RCC) and academic staff, we plan and provide a variety of programs to students. We also provide information on events and events in Boston, so you can rely on us.

Health Services

At Showa Boston's health room, there are nurses on-site who can speak Japanese, so you can consult with them about your health without worrying about language ability.

Residential Community Coordinator

Local undergraduate or graduate students live on campus as Residential Community Coordinators (RCCs). They support students' lives mainly at night and on weekends, and regularly organize events hosted by the RCC. By communicating with Americans of the same age on a daily basis, students can experience American culture more.

Surrounding environment

Boston is home to universities such as Harvard University and MIT, and is home to many students. Because it is a city with a large student population, it is possible to go out safely and participate in local activities.
Students take a shuttle bus to the nearest station, and after school they can go to Boston Common to do their homework, and on weekends they can spend their time shopping, visiting museums, watching sports, or whatever they like.
