It was, without a doubt, the best day of our kids\u2019 lives, with not a single line for any of the rides. They played until their little heads were spinning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">I often think back to that day when we open a new Genki Japanese &amp; Culture School branch. The first\u00a0year is special for students. Why? Because new schools always take a little time to fill up to capacity, which means first movers have a big advantage!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Our newest baby,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genkijacs.com\/okinawa-school-intro.php\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>GenkiJACS Okinawa<\/b><\/span><\/a>, will open this summer. And here\u2019s why this year is the perfect time to study here:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Tiny classes = big attention.<\/b><\/span>\u00a0Genki already has some of the smallest group classes of any world-accredited school, and they\u2019re even smaller in the first year. Fewer students means you get more love from your teachers. It\u2019s practically one-on-one without the pressure, which supercharges your learning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>We listen to YOU.<\/b><\/span>\u00a0In this early stage, we\u2019re shaping the school around the students who are actually here. Want more culture classes? More beach study sessions? Want your lessons held on surfboards? (Okay, maybe not that last one\u2026) But seriously, your feedback becomes reality, and we work even harder to make sure you\u2019re happy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>You\u2019ll be part of Genki history.<\/b><\/span>\u00a0You can say, \u201cOh yeah, I studied at Genki Okinawa back before it was famous.\u201d That\u2019s basically the Japanese language version of being a trendsetter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">So if you want an unforgettable study-abroad experience, lots of personal attention, and maybe even some influence over what we do next\u2026 now\u2019s the time! Before the secret gets out and things get crowded, come join us in paradise!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PS &#8211; No photographs this time, but we will have quite a lot very soon!
