Reviews

“The HTIC staff, security team, cafeteria, and dormitory staff welcomed us as ʻOhana (family) and supported us wholeheartedly.

Though our stay was short, everyone truly felt what the spirit of Aloha means.”

— Ms. Yumiko Takahashi (Escorting Teacher) @ Tokai Univ. Shizuoka Shoyo Elementary School

“For over ten years, we have entrusted our students to HTIC for English learning, field experiences, and accommodations.

The level of care and professionalism is something only Hawaii Tokai International College can provide.”

— Ms. Maiko Namihira (Coordinator) @ World Uchinanchu Business Association - Miyako

“It was inspiring to see students who were initially hesitant gradually gain confidence through the program. I saw not only their language skills improve but also their independence, cooperation, and personal strength grow.

Learning in such an environment offers experiences and lessons that go far beyond the classroom—truly a lifelong asset.”

— Ms. Kazumi Kato (Escorting Teacher) @ Tokai University, Dept. of Humanities
