### Participation in April Dream
'April Dream' is a cultural creation project proposed by PR TIMES Inc. that encourages people to share dreams they genuinely want to achieve on April 1st, rather than just telling lies. WEWORLD endorsed this project because of its strong commitment to the group's purpose: 'Connecting the world, through dreams and people-building.'
Approximately 700 students and staff of different nationalities and ages put their dreams into words and shared them. This process creates new conversations within the school and provides opportunities to meet peers with similar goals and to foster understanding and respect for different cultures. Creating an environment where individuals can face their own futures and stimulate each other through these connections is what the group believes leads to its goal of 'supporting multifaceted self-actualization.'
### Dreams of New Students and School Staff
- **Yang Zihan (Fine Arts Course, JUQ Shinjuku School):** 'My goal is to successfully enter university in 2027. I will study at JUQ and aim to pass the entrance exam for Tama Art University.'
- **Arata Tsubouchi (English Career Course, NBL):** 'My dream is to be able to converse naturally with native English speakers. I want to achieve a TOEIC score of 750 or higher and challenge myself by studying abroad.'
- **Shiro Kobayashi (Principal, TBL/NBL):** 'I will create an educational platform that lasts for 1000 years. I will make TBL and NBL hubs for next-generation global leaders who move the world.'
### WEWORLD Group's 'Multinational and Large-Scale' Educational Network
- **ISI Japanese Language School Group:** Operated by WEWORLD Inc., it has 8 schools in 4 cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagano). In FY2025, approximately 10,000 international students were enrolled, and with the opening of the Shinjuku Prime school in 2026, the group's capacity is expected to exceed 13,000 students. It provides high-quality education and support for students from over 100 countries.
- **JUQ Shinjuku School:** A preparatory school specializing in higher education for international students aiming for universities and graduate schools. Located on the same campus as the ISI Japanese Language School Shinjuku Main School, it provides a consistent support system from study abroad to higher education, with achievements in top national, public, and private universities, as well as art and music colleges.
- **TBL / NBL:** Vocational schools where Japanese and international students from over 30 countries learn together. They focus on nurturing global leaders through multicultural environments while teaching practical skills in English, business, hospitality, and marketing under the philosophy of 'Cross The Border.'
### Future Steps Toward Fulfilling Dreams
