Rigorous trilingual education — Chinese, Japanese, and English instruction from Grade 1; students prepare for JLPT Level 1 and Taiwanese/Japanese university entrance exams

Increasingly selective admissions — Entrance exams held in September and January with mandatory interviews since 2011; growing competition especially from Japanese families seeking Chinese immersion

Direct Taiwan university pathway — Alumni access 70+ majors through Overseas Chinese Student Recommendation System with scholarships up to NT$40,000/semester + NT$15,000/month

Affordable compared to alternatives — Historical tuition of ¥22,000-25,000/month (as of 2010), significantly less than Yokohama's mainland-affiliated Chinese school at ¥38,000-40,000/month

Best for families committed to Chinese heritage — One-third of Grade 1 students are ethnic Japanese; requires serious dedication to intensive Chinese language acquisition and cultural immersion
