It's been my dream for at least the last 5 years or so to someday open my own school, so I'm so happy and grateful that we've finally been able to do so in beautiful Moriyama city, Shiga prefecture. If you have any questions about myself, my qualifications, our school, etc., please feel free to send a message.

Thank you so much for your interest in "The Scotia School". Yoroshiku onegaiitashimasu! - Lucas
