2025 Annual Report
Cultural diversity, World heritage/intangible cultural heritage/regional cultural properties, International understanding, Peace, Human rights, Welfare, Sustainable production and consumption, Dietary education, Global Citizenship Education (GCED)
Our school is founded on the philosophy of “cultivating individuals who contribute to the world based on the spirit of harmony.” Guided by this principle, we pursue three key visions:
to be “an innovative school that continues to adapt to global trends,”
“a school that values people and nature and respects the worth of both self and others,” and
“a school where students and teachers grow together with pride.”
Through experiential learning and inquiry-based education, we promote UNESCO School learning that connects students with their local communities, society, and the wider world.
In the field of Global Citizenship, Peace, and Non-Violence, we foster the ability to view social issues as one’s own and to think collaboratively with others. Through newspaper-clipping activities, students deepen their awareness of current affairs, while fieldwork in the local community and poster presentations at Fuchu City’s environmental and civic-engagement events help them develop skills in expressing their opinions and sharing their learning with society. In addition, our liberal arts program “Windows to the World” invites guest speakers—including lecturers from Ukraine—to help students learn about the value of peace and the significance of non-violence.
In the field of Sustainable Development and Lifestyles, students deepen their understanding of sustainability through engagement with nature and industry. By participating in homestays and agricultural experiences, they learn about local livelihoods, and through involvement in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ Fair Price Project, they examine the importance of fair pricing from the perspectives of both producers and consumers. Furthermore, by planning and managing events focused on social issues and fair trade, and by taking part in external competitions, students develop the ability to take meaningful action.
In the field of Intercultural Learning, Cultural Diversity, and Respect for Cultural Heritage, students cultivate mutual understanding through diverse learning experiences both in Japan and abroad. Through exchanges and homestays in countries such as Canada, the United States, Australia, and the Philippines, they strengthen their communication skills in multicultural contexts. At the same time, inquiry-based learning and hands-on activities related to traditional Japanese culture deepen their understanding of their own cultural heritage. Moreover, through partnerships with schools in Shanghai (China), Indonesia, and Georgia, students engage in ongoing exchange programs and online collaborations, broadening their perspectives on multicultural coexistence.
Annual Work Plan
As a new initiative, we will establish the Meisei Institution for first-year junior high school students, welcoming returnee students and designing a curriculum that promotes global education and career education. In addition, we will create an Inquiry Department as an organization to promote UNESCO School ESD, aiming to enhance cross-curricular inquiry learning and comprehensive inquiry programs that reflect the distinctive characteristics of each grade level.
In the coming academic year, we will provide professional development opportunities so that not only students but also teachers can better understand the理念 of UNESCO Schools and apply it in their classroom practices. We will also challenge ourselves to participate in regional and national conferences and to engage in inter-school exchanges.
As part of our ongoing efforts, we will further develop inquiry-based learning centered on fair trade and deepen student learning through partnerships with local communities, exchange programs, and overseas study programs.
