7 Habits J® Official Site >
Background of the Introduction: "School Reform Balancing Hardware and Software"
The Course of Study guidelines presented by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology emphasize the development of "motivation to learn and human nature," requiring the cultivation of the ability to learn proactively and live in society while interacting with others (*1).
Tokai University Affiliated Fukuoka High School is a general education high school affiliated with Tokai University, which will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2026. The school is planning to rebuild a new school building, advancing the enhancement of its educational hardware. On the other hand, based on the belief that the essential value of a school lies in its software, they decided to introduce "7 Habits J®" as its core pillar. By simultaneously advancing facility improvement and the realization of educational philosophies, they aim to create a school continuously chosen by the local community and parents, even in an era of declining birth rates.
Furthermore, "7 Habits J®" is an educational program based on the global bestseller "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" (by Dr. Stephen R. Covey), structured for middle, high, and vocational school students. To date, it has been introduced in about 100 schools across Japan, with a cumulative total of over 360,000 students having studied it.
The school aims to embody its school policy of "fostering human skills" and will introduce "7 Habits J®" as a pillar of inquiry-based learning. They plan to broadcast this inside and outside the school as an educational feature, while also improving teachers' instructional skills through "7 Habits J®". This program is scheduled to begin in September 2026 during the "Period for Integrated Studies (Inquiry)" for first-year high school students, serving as a core component of education to enhance proactivity.

1. School Feature: "Towards Education that Systematically Fosters Human Skills"
Tokai University Affiliated Fukuoka High School has traditionally emphasized "human skills" from the three perspectives of "humanity, sociality, and proactivity." The school's educational policy primarily states the desire to "raise individuals who can devote themselves to the smiles of others."
Until now, human skills were often talked about as being nurtured through experiences in school events and club activities, leaving systematization as a challenge. The introduction of "7 Habits J®" is an initiative to establish clear guidelines for systematically and continuously developing human skills.
Also, the school's slogan is "Team Tokai Fukuoka." It emphasizes a sense of unity as a "team" that shares goals and enhances each other, rather than just being a group. Fulfilling events, the cohesive strength of the whole school, and being a "fun school" are also major appeals.
2. Significance of Introduction: "Redefining Education in an Era of Shifting Values"
With societal structures changing drastically due to the advancement of AI, IoT, and SNS, the school views the present as a "turning point in values." No matter what profession one pursues, the unwavering core remains the attitude of "devoting oneself to the smiles of others." In such an era, they believe that nurturing individuals who possess not only academic ability but also humanity, sociality, and proactivity will lead to the ability to live independently through a rapidly changing society.
3. Future Outlook of Tokai University Affiliated Fukuoka High School: "Differentiation and Establishment of the School Brand"
Amidst a declining birthrate, clear strengths as a school are demanded. The school plans to establish an educational environment where students can acquire human skills, in addition to being a "fun school." Currently, about 95% of the students enroll specifically choosing this school, and an environment is in place where they can spend a fulfilling three years. Looking ahead to an era where the question is not just "which university did you graduate from" but "how have you lived," they will further promote the cultivation of individuals equipped with human skills.

Kenji Tsuyama, Principal of Tokai University Affiliated Fukuoka High School
"Although many schools use the term 'human skills,' it was often talked about as a secondary outcome of club activities and the like. By visiting schools that have introduced '7 Habits J®' and seeing it in practice, I realized the certainty of student growth and the high quality of interactive classes. The students' reactions were also very good, and as proactive learning is put into practice through interactive classes...
