Students at a public junior high stay enrolled at the public junior high in their area. It is not a transfer to Horie Art School Junior High.

Art lessons and schoolwork

Horie Art School

Students come to the school and learn illustration and manga.

They join the same regular lessons as other students

and are taught individually around what they want to draw.

Daiichi Gakuin Junior High

Schoolwork is studied online.

Counselling and parent meetings are provided by Daiichi Gakuin Junior High.

Students take Horie Art School’s course of four or more lessons a month together with Daiichi Gakuin Junior High.

Start with the drawing you love

“I want to draw my favourite characters.” “I want to try making manga.” It’s fine not to have a dream or a future job in mind yet. Students can begin simply by drawing the illustrations and manga they like.

Taught individually, around what you want to draw

Each lesson starts by asking, “What do you want to draw today?” Instructors go round the students in turn, look at each person’s drawing and teach techniques and help with problems one to one.

It is not a separate class for junior-high students; they join Horie Art School’s regular lessons.

Attending and fees

Horie Art School’s course of four or more lessons a month is combined with online study at Daiichi Gakuin Junior High.

Fees are needed for both: Horie Art School’s monthly tuition and Daiichi Gakuin Junior High’s course fees.

We explain lesson frequency, courses, how online study works and the costs when you consult us.

When a path opens up

If you hope to go on to an arts high school, you can also ask about lessons to prepare for the entrance exam.

For those who want to keep learning to draw after starting high school, Horie Art High School is another option.

Parents are welcome to consult on their own

Even if your child hasn’t decided to visit yet, parents can consult us on their own.

Your child isn’t able to go to school but is interested in learning to draw. You’d also like to know about studying online.

Tell us about your child’s current situation, what they enjoy and what concerns you. We will explain how the lessons and online study work, how attending works and the costs.
