Educational Features

Junior High Grade 3 and High School Grade 1 (Third Stage - First Half)

There is no difference in curriculum between the core and GJ (Global Junior) course classes. However, GJ course English classes place a stronger emphasis on developing an international mindset and improving students' English skills.

Core Course

Developing a variety of learning options with a focus on liberal arts, science, and international studies.

We focus not only on absorbing knowledge, but also on acquiring the ability to conduct research and make presentations, developing the basic academic skills and interpersonal skills necessary for studying specialized fields at university and for active participation in society. In addition, we foster a true internationalism through exchanges with overseas students and experiences in a variety of programs.

Core GJ Course

Compulsory English classes that are taught entirely in English.

English classes are taught entirely in English by experienced teachers. The aim is for students to develop clear pronunciation and the ability to produce accurate expressions by repeatedly listening to English spoken at a natural speed and take part in daily conversations. Every year, all students take TOEFL ITP® and GTEC® tests, which are indicators of language proficiency.

Cultivating international awareness that will lead to global success.

Classes cover topics related to different cultures and current events around the world, helping students to develop a global perspective. In addition, we offer many programs that bring the world closer to the students, including overseas training, so that they may acquire a high level of international awareness that will lead to them selecting to apply for the GL or SSG courses in their second year of high school.
