Background of Introduction
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) curriculum guidelines advocate for the development of "motivation for learning and human qualities," requiring the cultivation of skills to learn proactively and live within society while interacting with others (*1).
Tokyo Gakkan High School, a co-educational private high school founded in 1979, upholds "7 Resources" as its educational policy: "Collaborative ability," "Communication ability," "Thinking ability," "Innovative ability," "Metacognitive ability," "Creative ability," and "Autonomous action ability."
"7 Habits J®" is an educational program systematically developed for junior and senior high school students based on the global bestseller "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" (authored by Dr. Stephen R. Covey). To date, it has been adopted by approximately 100 schools nationwide, with over 360,000 students having studied it.
"7 Habits J®" was highly evaluated for its strong compatibility with the school's "7 Resources" educational policy, and its ability to systematically implement, establish, and further develop the educational policy, leading to its adoption. Starting April 2026, the initiative will begin as a core pillar of proactiveness-enhancing education within the "Integrated Learning (Inquiry) Time" for first-year high school students.

1. School Characteristics
Tokyo Gakkan High School, commemorating its 40th anniversary in 2019, established the S-Special Advanced Course, Special Advanced Course, and General Academic Course (Humanities & Sciences Major, Sports Major) to provide an educational system that caters to diverse career aspirations.
Based on its founding spirit and educational policy of "7 Resources," the school aims to cultivate the ability to forge one's own path in a rapidly changing society, going beyond mere acquisition of knowledge and skills.
2. Background of "7 Habits J®" Introduction
While many students at the school diligently engage in daily classes and club activities, there was a recognized need for a more reliable mechanism to support internal growth, such as the ability to perform at one's best in real situations, to acknowledge one's own efforts, and to set goals as personal commitments.
"7 Habits J®" is an educational program that establishes proactiveness and autonomy not as "concepts" but as "behavioral habits." It was highly regarded for its strong compatibility with the school's "7 Resources" educational policy and its potential to serve as a foundational support across all educational activities.
3. Desired School Image and Enhancement of Proactiveness
The school aims to be a place where students can think and act on their own. By fostering a proactive learning attitude, it is believed that results in higher education and club activities will naturally improve. Instead of waiting for others' evaluations or instructions, students will set their own goals and choose their actions. "7 Habits J®" is positioned as the foundation for this thinking. It is being introduced as a concrete measure to establish proactiveness not merely as a slogan, but as a value rooted in daily choices and actions.
4. Message from the Principal
Mr. Yoshihiro Suzuki, Principal, Tokyo Gakkan High School
"Our school has an unwavering mission to 'maximize students' potential' and 'cultivate the ability to persevere.' However, on the ground, we have faced the question of how to foster these abilities. The answer we found was '7 Habits J®.' It has a high affinity with our school's '7 Resources,' and we wanted to hand this over as a 'compass' for life. Even if we cannot change our environment, we can change our reactions. Drawing our own goals, setting priorities, and keeping promises to ourselves – this accumulation is the essence of perseverance. Although simple, we want to thoroughly cultivate this independent spirit first and foremost.
We aim to create a future where students become independent, grow with their peers, continuously refine themselves, and confidently walk their life's path with a smile."
5. Future Outlook
Tokyo Gakkan High School aims to establish the philosophy of "7 Habits J®" as a school culture and develop it into student-led educational activities. In the future, it aspires to be recognized externally as a "model of Tokyo Gakkan High School."
