About Us

OUR STRENGTHS

ALTIA CENTRAL, simply, is a company that cares.

Our strength as a company lies with our ALTs. We value and appreciate them by providing guidance and support when needed, with the goal that every ALT has a positive experience in Japan. We also encourage our ALTs to reach their full potential by offering training, teaching resources, and ongoing feedback. We care deeply about the Japanese teachers and ensuring their successful collaboration with the ALT. We take great care to consider the needs of both the ALTs and the Japanese teachers, as well as the Board of Education (BOE) needs.

Most importantly, our focus is always on ensuring the best educational experience for students with an engaging, supportive, positive and caring ALT at their school.

ALTIA CENTRAL’s strength comes from our professionalism, openness, and honesty — values that we believe are unmatched in this industry, starting with our HR department and extending to our training and ALT support systems.

We offer essential, all-inclusive English teaching resources and provide the highest quality training, along with follow-up seminars and events throughout the year. We also support our ALTs with regular feedback and constructive advice from our talented and highly experienced supervisors, who have been teaching in Japan for many years. These supervisors have been promoted from within the company based on their exceptional skills, talent, and dedication. ALTIA CENTRAL’s supervisors are one of the core strengths of our company, and they help clearly differentiate us from the rest of the industry by offering personalized support and fostering open dialogue with our ALTs.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Today's Impression - Tomorrow's Dream

Our slogan is a simple one, translated from the Japanese phrase "Kandou-no-hajimari" (“感動のはじまり”), a phrase which seeks to create a feeling that people can achieve their dreams of tomorrow through a positive impression of English, foreigners, and foreign culture, today.

Honesty, respect, and trust is our foundation for building a positive relationship with our ALTs, customers, and students. This in turn, will positively affect the development of the students and meet or exceed our quality and growth goals.

OUR MISSION

ALTIA CENTRAL is a place where our people are involved in the development of children at all levels.

Our aim is to provide our ALTs with the best experience by offering the highest quality support services, working conditions, and a strong support network. This ensures that we deliver the highest quality ALTs to each of the public schools we partner with.

We are passionate about sharing and learning from differences in language, culture, and ideas on a global scale, which serves as the foundation for effective global communication. English is a universal tool that facilitates efficient and meaningful communication across cultures.

Our goal is to provide our ALTs with comprehensive support services, teaching resources, support networks, and fair working conditions. This will ensure a positive experience for both our ALTs and the students. We are committed to providing the best learning experience for the children of Japan, which is why we continually strive to exceed even our highest expectations.

OUR HISTORY

ALTIA CENTRAL started over 25 years ago providing educational ALT services to the public school system in Japan.

It originated as a division of a predecessor company that provided educational services to both private and public institutions. Over the years, the ALT Division expanded and grew to the point where it became more feasible to operate independently. It is co-managed by both Japanese and foreign management, each of whom has many years of experience within this field and with ALTIA CENTRAL, ensuring a level of consistency and continuity unparalleled in the industry. In recent years, our company has grown steadily and continues to expand, thanks to our expertise and commitment to children's education. Today, we are part of the Z-Kai family of education-related companies, and have over 350 ALTs successfully teaching across a dozen prefectures in Central and South-Central Japan, actively contributing to the development of tens of thousands of children every day.
