took steps towards becoming global citizens with us

Over the years our GPI US staff has worked closely with our parent company in Japan, ISA, to bring thousands of middle and high school students from Japan to America to strengthen the relationships between the youth of our countries as well as prepare them for careers in our increasingly global society. Now, we are offering this opportunity to U.S.-based students to participate cultural exchange abroad. As an educator, you have the opportunity to show your students new cultures, foods, languages, and people.

Japan Bound is GPI US’ custom study-abroad program taking place throughout Japan. Our team works with teachers, school groups, clubs, and other youth organizations to tailor programs to fit student needs. We can connect program activities to a curriculum or  theme of your choice. Our team works closely with our constituents in Japan to ensure every detail of each program is what you’re looking for.

​For further information, visit our main website at www.gpius.net or contact us at info@gpius.net!

Our groups from Japan often visit local high schools during their programs in the US. We’ve helped establish sister school relationships stemming from these visits and assist in planning and overseeing cultural and language exchange activities online and in-person.
