Junior High as of 2021-2022 school year:
In the junior high school program, we focused on building students’ critical thinking skills through an equal emphasis on the four skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
We started the year with novel study to help nurture empathy by reading books about characters that the students can relate to and characters that live differently than the students.
From September, we moved on to the 4 skills textbooks that are often used in universities to build on the topics they learned studying abroad. The books use an interdisciplinary approach so students are learning science, psychology, and sociology among other subjects.
Hand-in-hand with critical thinking was the teaching of 21st-century digital skills. Students this year did more than give slideshow presentations, they used a wide variety of digital tools from mind-mapping to graphic design to making videos.

Senior High as of 2021-2022 school year:
This was a two-year curriculum designed to build on an already established understanding of the English skills from junior high school and further develop an interest in using English in an academic setting.
The curriculum began from the senior high first year with a focus on learning and understanding English through fictional novels. Students learn to identify and discuss important aspects of the texts and their relation to the world we live in today as well as learning the various literary elements introduced in the novels. At the end of the second term, students had gained the ability to write and publish their own short novels.
As a second-year student, the focus moved from literary aspects and elements to more of an academic reading and writing program. The writing strategies that were taught were similar to writing strategies used in universities. The goal for students by the end of the second term was to feel confident in writing a research paper that is on par with most university expectations.
In addition, classes are often student-led providing them with the opportunity to get the most out of their lessons. We are not only building responsible students but also responsible young adults.

帰国生の声 〜取り出し授業について〜
What is great about our Advanced Class? There are many reasons but here are a few. First, there are so many opportunities to speak English in our class. By discussing the topics covered in our textbook, we can strengthen our vocabulary and learn different perspectives as well. Next, the listening we do is at a very high level. The speed and topics are much more difficult than what we study in our usual class. Would you like to become a writing master? Every unit we study has an essay task and we are required to meet certain requirements. Finally, we do a lot of reading in our class. The novel we studied gave us a lot of chances to work together to discuss the themes.

模擬国連の取り組み
模擬国連とは、一国の大使になりきり、提示された議題に関して自国の立場から世界に政策を提言し、さまざまな国と協力して決議案を作っていく活動です。近年世界の問題に関心のある中高生の間でますます人気となっています。本校では模擬国連同好会のメンバーを中心に、中等部１年生より国内のさまざまな模擬国連に参加をしています。模擬国連に参加することで、世界に存在する多くの課題やSDGsについて考える機会をもつことができます。
その他、授業での学習を生かし、プレゼンテーションやレシテーションのコンテストを校内で実施しています。さらに、外部の大会にも積極的に参加し活躍しています。
