OneTerrace Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Tatsuya Ishinaka) announces that its international student management system 'WSDB' has exceeded a cumulative total of 230 implemented schools as of March 2026.

Background and Breakdown of Achievements WSDB is a cloud-based database that digitizes the often-complicated information management of international students, supporting the operational efficiency of faculty and staff. Eight years after the start of the service, it has grown to the following scale:

- Cumulative implemented schools: Over 230 schools - Japanese language educational institutions: Over 200 schools - Vocational schools: Over 30 schools - Cumulative managed international students: Over 60,000 students

Importance of 'International Student Management' in the Japanese Language Education Industry Educational institutions accepting international students to study in Japan have an obligation to accurately report students' attendance records and activities outside their visa status (part-time jobs) to the Immigration Services Agency of Japan. Missing information or poor management directly affects the school's evaluation as an 'Appropriate School' (*1), so extremely precise data management is required. WSDB is equipped with management functions that comply with these complex legal requirements, establishing its position as an industry-standard platform.

Future Outlook With the recent recovery and increase in the number of international students, digital transformation (DX) in the educational field is an urgent issue. WSDB will continue to provide higher value-added services for both schools and students by responding to Japanese language proficiency evaluations aligned with the CEFR framework, annually changing immigration procedures, and further digitalization.

(*1) Appropriate School: An educational institution recognized by the Immigration Bureau as properly managing the enrollment of international students. When recognized as an appropriate school, institutions receive preferential treatment, such as simplified visa screening for students.
