Our school has been working on producing students who “keep thinking and developing.” We also require students to think, judge, and act independently.
Activities Related to “Global citizenship and a culture of peace and non‐violence.”
◇Cambodia Peace Study Program
9 students participated in a short-term study trip to Cambodia. They visited the Aki Ra Landmine Museum. They also attended a lecture by the school chairman at Bayon Junior and High School about the harsh realities of life during the civil war and its history and interacted with local high school students. Through those experiences, our students deepened their understanding of peace.
◇”University Special Lecture”, by Tokiwa University
Our 11th grade students take classes called “University Special Lecture”, given by faculty members of Tokiwa University. One of the courses focused on global citizenship education, requiring students to write a report after completion.

◇Collaboration classes with Mito City and Kasama City
With Kasama City and Mito City, lessons were conducted during “Period for Inquiry-Based Cross-Disciplinary Study” to develop proposals for revitalizing both cities.
Our students studied the past regional revitalization cases and identified the attractions, strengths, and resources of Kasama City and Mito City through fieldwork. Considering these assets, they devised their own proposals.

Annual Work Plan
