A little bit of History

The school was first established in 1989 as a partnership between Mr. Steve Bernard and his wife Ms. Yuko Bernard (current president). They opened up their very first school right in the middle of Tsukuba in an area known as Takezono.During the next 10-year period, the school saw rapid growth at a time when the general economy was struggling here in Japan. The school was growing at a rate that was better than a new location school each year. Recently, over the last three to five years, the school has consolidated its position as being the largest privately owned school in the IbarakiPrefecture.

Why has the school been so successful?

The school has solid leadership, is very directional about its intent and above all, is very committed to providing a high standard of service to those Japanese that would like to come to the BernardEnglishSchool to learn English.

How many schools are there now?

There are currently 9 learning centres in the area. These locations are: Takezono, Ushiku, Shin Moriya, Shimotsuma, Ami, Ishioka, Ryugasaki, Matsushiro and Shimodate.
