Discovery Program

The Japan Discovery Program at Showa Boston is a unique intercultural exchange program for American and Japanese girls. For two weeks the Japanese and American girls in the program share information about their culture. It is a summer program where students learn through active participation in small groups, with plenty of individual attention.
