Educational Philosophy

An International Education Connecting Two Essential Skills

The secondary education that our students receive at Nagoya International Junior and Senior High School is a priceless opportunity for our students to acquire the skills that they need to flourish on the international stage in the twenty-first century. We aim to help all of our students to reach their full potential. For this reason, we have developed a special international curriculum that focuses on two essential skills.

Optimizing Higher Education Options

First, we educate our students in such a way that they will be able to take on high-level academic courses of study once they have graduated from our school. We encourage our students to focus on the future, and we give daily guidance and regular college counseling to help them to do so. We seek to cultivate in them a spirit of intellectual inquiry and to give them the basic skills that such inquiry requires. Our school focuses on cultivating practical skills that will lead to rapid academic gains.

Educating Young People to Flourish on the World Stage

Second, for the sake of our students, who will shoulder the burden of preparing Japan for the future, we have designed a special course of studies. We believe that this is no longer an age when students can be successful by studying in one country, in one language and on one campus. We aim to provide our students with the international outlook and education that they need to flourish in the modern world. This is the essence of our educational commitment. We offer a balanced and high-level curriculum that communicates high expectations to all of our students.
