About us
Let's one step to the world!
With the concept of “Let’s find your classmates in the world,” World Classmates’ Network (WCN) was created. Don’t you think it would be nice if there was a place where children from all over the world could come into direct contact with each other?
Story
~ From your children or students?
When we teach English in the classroom or at school, children often ask us:
As asked “Then what would you do if you could speak English?,” children replied “we want to talk to foreign people”, “we want to travel abroad”, “we want to talk about our favorite games” and “we want to talk about our favorite K-POP music.” Children think in the same way as adults.
~By leaving Japan, we were able to ~
There were many things we gained through studying abroad. Among them, the most important thing was to have non-Japanese classmates and friends. Because we were classmates of the same age, we were able to share our joys and worries. We made friends with whom we could communicate heart to heart across countries.
