From baseball,
to anywhere.
Without limits.

PROGRAMS

IMI Japan plans overseas programs where children can experience baseball, English, and different cultures in the United States. These programs are currently in preparation. We are also preparing baseball clinics and online English lessons.

Information for parents and guardians

We do not believe studying abroad is the right choice for every child.

Even a week spent meeting people and experiencing another culture can influence how we see the world. We want to give children the opportunity to discover more of that world, so they can choose their own path.

02 BASEBALL

Experiences beyond Japan, through baseball.

  • American baseball experiences
  • Online baseball lessons
  • Guidance on skills, mindset, and preparation

Bringing experience from baseball in Japan and abroad into children’s everyday practice. We are preparing opportunities, including off-season baseball clinics, to share new discoveries and the enjoyment of taking on a challenge.

About upcoming programs

03 ENGLISH

From studying English to using it.

Classes in preparation

  • Online English conversation
  • Practical everyday English
  • English for use abroad
  • Sport × English

Try talking about yourself. Put the English you have learned into your own words. We hope everyday learning can build the confidence to take a small step into the wider world.

These are areas for future development.

FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

Helping you support
“I want to go.”

A first trip abroad can bring questions as well as excitement. Where will your child stay? Who will accompany them? How can you get in touch if something happens? We are preparing the information you need to consider participation, alongside details of the program itself. Please check the announcement when registration opens.
