・PROJECT5

   This school aims to provide our students with the appropriate guidance counseling required to later enable them to prosper and accomplish their goals. Since 2013, we launched “New Project 5” in order to encourage students to improve their academic ability and discover their dreams. This project consists of five components: academic ability, leadership, international communication, problem solving, and open mindedness. We strive to teach these qualities to students so that they can play an active role in the world and develop the confidence required to conquer the big stage. This is accomplished by promoting international education and understanding.We invite guests from foreign countries, such as Taiwan, to provide our students with opportunities to communicate with people of different backgrounds. We also present students with travel abroad options, and many have gone overseas to countries such as Austria, Guam, and Mexico. This school has a long history and tradition,        Principal
and with this new project, we look forward to future growth.                                                                  KIDA Kazuhiko
                                         　                            


 


・Promoting International Education and Understanding

    Recently, globalization, government, economics, and culture has been rapidly increasing throughout the world. In order to gain success in the future, we believe today's youth should be required to learn about different cultures and global societies. Our school highly values international education, and promotes learning by inviting guests from other schools interact with students. Furthermore we provide our students with many study abroad opportunities and encourage them to study in foreign universities.
