Arrowfield Academy | Japanese Language School in Sydney

The Academy aims towards the complete acquisition of education for its students, and are looking to provide an environment where each individual student can think and aim towards their own personal goals at their own pace.
We hope to cultivate individuals who can act as “adults” within Japanese society. By “adult”, we mean individuals who can adjust to society and are independent individuals who can act on their own ideas with responsibility.
