Globalize DC is seeking interested and highly motivated DC students from public schools across the city for its SY2022-23 JAPANESE PLUS Program. JAPANESE PLUS is an afterschool Japanese language, culture, and career exposure program open for free to DCPS and DC charter high school students. This is a fun but intensive program that will meet twice a week -
Wednesdays ONLINE after school (4:30-6:30 pm) and
Saturday mornings in person (10 am-1 pm), plus additional meetings, from late September 2022 through May 2023. The meeting location (still to be determined) will be metro accessible. Students who successfully complete the program may be able to earn high school credit towards graduation.
This year we are asking all participants to make a two-year commitment to the program, which will include Japanese Levels 1 and 2.We will select up to 23 students for the SY2022-23 program. The program is open to 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. Only seniors who have participated in our online Japanese program (Japanese Tamago) will be considered for acceptance.
We are seeking students who have both the interest and the high level of commitment to fulfill the requirements of this program. Interested students should complete the Application Form below. Incomplete forms will not be accepted. Be sure to answer all questions fully. We will be reviewing applications in the order in which they are received.
