This is probably a longshot, but has anyone heard of this school? Their website is here: http://www.sps.ac.jp/

I received a packet from them with application info and it looks pretty good, but I haven't been able to find any mention of them on the web in regards ot quality or reputation.

I hope their Japanese instruction is better than their math abilities... They list their "3 month" July course as going from the start of July to the end of August and being 10 weeks long...

Last I checked there were 62 days combined in July and August, not quite 9 weeks. Any "3 month" period would have 90-92 days and be about 13 weeks.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

No worries. It's a language school not a tech school.
Math is overated anyway. As long as you have 10 fingers you can get by OK.

Indeed, I suppose it is not that important if you make 10man/month or less. ;)

Mmmh.......they say generally "start of july - end of august" without saying the dates. I would be a little suspicious.
