Background of the School Opening

Providing a Secure Learning Environment for Middle and High School Students Who Want to Turn Their 'Passion' into a Future Career

In recent years, an increasing number of middle and high school students are aspiring to careers in entertainment and digital expression, such as voice acting, VTubing, live streaming, illustration, and AI content creation.

However, while students are eager to acquire specialized skills early on, parents often have concerns such as: 'Can they properly earn a high school diploma?', 'Is it possible to balance academics with specialized training?', and 'Will this education lead to viable future career paths?'

To address these concerns, Nichinare leverages its decades of experience in voice acting and actor education to launch 'Nichinare High School,' combining the flexible learning style of correspondence high schools with practical, hands-on specialized training.

The school provides an environment where students can pursue qualifications for high school graduation while challenging themselves in expressive fields such as voice acting, VTubing, and AI creation—areas increasingly in demand in today’s society.
