I’m currently learning Japanese in my home country and planning to be able to enrol into a Japan Art University by April 2025. My goal is Kyoto Seika University for Animation, but I’ve been eyeing on another college for Animation too. I’ve searched around for prep schools that can teach you Japanese and prepare you for art school at the same time. The reason is because I don’t think I’ll be able to achieve N2 by April 2024, so I’ll need to continue studying there to get N1(which is my goal). I have also studied Animation and is passionate about it. I’ve searched up a few prep schools and emailed them but none of them have gotten back to me thus far. I’m afraid that perhaps I’m too late, and want to ask if anyone have any experience attending a prep school for Art University and would like to recommend some. I’ve heard from connections that someone did a one year prep course in Kyoto but I haven’t got to find any prep school that offers a one year only course.
P.S. In case someone asks, I’m not looking into European/Western countries for family reasons that I’m not willing to dive into here. Japan/Korea is my only options now.

I heard good things about KICL from friends back when I lived in Kyoto. They seem to offer art stuff alongside the Japanese language courses: https://www.kicl.ac.jp/
