About ARE – America Ryugaku Education
Our original name of organization(Association for Refining Cross-Culture), was established in 1986 as a NPO in Los Angeles, California to offer services in various types of study-abroad options for international students.
We are solely a professional educational provider, dedicated to the betterment of students’ lives and improvement of their educational and career goals. We specialize more in academic long-term study-abroad, which we believe will be a great asset to students rather than in short-term sightseeing package programs which are usually offered by travel agencies in Japan.
As a professional educational provider, we are proud to assist with research of secondary schools, colleges, vocational schools and graduate schools in our placement service.
With enormous consultation before leaving Japan and appropriate background research on the student’s character and purpose of their study-abroad and career goals, we confidently plan successful study itineraries and give careful attention after their arrival in the USA, Canada and other destinations.
What differentiate us from other agencies are the various careful support services we offer. After arriving at their destination, we closely keep in touch with the minor students, school and host family and monitor their academic progress as well as their social life through our guardianship.
We also assist in a smooth and natural entrance into the high school for the minor students within 2-3 months before their departure, which would be impossible for other agencies. So last-minute study-abroad decisions are welcomed here and we have the resources and experience to handle it.
We have also re-evaluated the study-abroad options again and concluded that ESL language training or college graduation programs alone would not suffice especially for young people in our current society, and need more of a hands-on skill training.
Practical internships or hands-on skill training in conjunction with studying gives a great asset to students and gets them in more demand in our society. We now offer a WORK+STUDY program, including J-1 business internships, hotel & hospitality internship programs and the likes. These programs are highly appreciated and accept applicants regardless of age.
As a part of our company expansion, we have local branch offices located in the Tokyo and Taxas besides Los Angeles area that are staffed with representatives that are happy to give consultation about our services.
Our staff visits Japan, providing free consultation as well to people who wish to study or work abroad.
Our mission to support people’s betterment of their lives is broadly recognized and we are expanding our services more and more.
