Comprehensive training.

During the long holiday, there are many opportunities to participate in overseas training in English-speaking countries, various domestic and international seminars and contests, and Model United Nations. These opportunities provide students with the chance to interact with people from diverse backgrounds, including those from different cultures. In this way, students will acquire the ability to think about Japan's future.

High-level science and mathematics education.

Students can receive high-level science and mathematics education in this course at our school, which has been designated as a "SSH/Super Science High School" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It is also possible to visit research institutes as well as participate in workshops at universities both in Japan and abroad, allowing students to develop academic and scientific skills that can be used around the world while experiencing cutting-edge science.

Comprehensive high school and university collaboration program.

In the collaborative program with Ritsumeikan University, students can attend specialized lectures from the Faculty of Science and Engineering, as well as experience experiments and exercises tailored to their individual interests.

Work together with high school students from around the world at JSSF.

Ritsumeikan High School holds the Japan Super Science Fair (JSSF) every year, inviting high school students from all over the world to present their research and have discussions. Students in the SSG class take the lead in organizing the event and giving presentations. As they deepen their interactions with future scientists from around the world, they develop the qualities necessary to become frontrunners in science. JSSF in 2022 was held with the participation of 25 schools from 18 countries and regions overseas and 10 schools in Japan.

Overseas Scientific Research Workshop

All students in the SSG course participate in the 13-week Overseas Scientific Research Workshop. By engaging in purposeful training activities with high school and university students from overseas, students broaden their horizons and acquire the awareness and language skills essential to being active as scientists in international society.
