International Exchange Program
In Collaboration with ITALY / JAPAN PRESCHOOL EXCHANGE
HGL ART offers children the exciting opportunity to participate in international study programs in Japan and Italy. This unique study abroad experience is thoughtfully designed for young children and their families, combining cultural exploration, language exposure, and hands-on learning through art, nature, and daily life activities.
Explore for 1-3 Weeks or 1-3 Months
Parent Child Exploration in Japan / Italy
Families participating in our Preschool Exchange Program have the opportunity to stay in a local region of Japan or Italy for 1–4 weeks or longer — with flexible options ranging from short-term cultural exploration to extended stays of up to 1–3 months. During this time, children are welcomed into local preschools, attending alongside resident students in warm, community-based learning environments.
Embracing Nature and a Carefree Atmosphere
Discover Local Nature and Culture
This unique program invites families to go beyond tourism and fully immerse in the rhythm of everyday life. Children engage with natural landscapes, spend time outdoors, and grow in settings that support their physical and emotional development. Parents have the opportunity to work remotely, enjoy personal time, or simply share in their child’s discovery of a new culture. Whether exploring Japan’s countryside or Italy’s quiet communities, the experience offers meaningful connection — to place, people, and family.
