Annual Work Plan

Our school aims to contribute to the realization and maintenance of a peaceful world through the power of science. As a specific goal, we have set “Fostering Global Science Leaders.” To achieve this goal, we will continue implementing distinctive educational programs centered on SSH and ASPnet. We plan activities based on four key perspectives: ① Initiatives for international understanding education, ② Initiatives for interdisciplinary learning centered on science, ③ Initiatives for promoting the SDGs, and ④ Other perspectives. Regarding international understanding education and science initiatives, we aim to further accelerate collaboration with partner schools, focusing on joint research and other practical activities. For SDGs initiatives, we plan to leverage international observance days to heighten interest and engagement among all school stakeholders across various fields, while further expanding concrete practices throughout the entire school.
