■ Does "Passion" Connect to the Future?
In modern society, which is undergoing rapid changes, the ability to accept diversity—such as differences in nationality, gender, and values—and act for the benefit of others is required to play an active and useful role in society.
At our school, while utilizing the knowledge of single-sex education we have cultivated so far, we will develop a new education suitable for the Reiwa era, capable of embracing all forms of diversity.
In response to this question, we believe that "passion becomes the power to connect to the future and society through learning."
The education our school aims for is one where each student's "passion" and "interests" do not remain mere personal experiences but deepen into learning and eventually connect with society.
■ Learning that Connects "Passion" to Society Has Already Begun
Already at our school, many initiatives that serve as the buds of this concept have been born.
Students who, despite being high schoolers, collaborate with university laboratories to conduct research on specialized themes and present at academic conferences.
Graduates who have experienced international exchange and studying abroad, playing active roles globally, fostered under the global education cultivated as an SGH and WWL designated school over more than a decade.
A special course, "N.Box," which aims not only to study subjects normally learned in the full-time general course but also to cross the boundaries of subjects and grades, stimulating students' intellectual curiosity, letting them know the joy and pleasure of learning, and expanding their perspectives.
And the "New School Project Conceived by Students," where students themselves ask "what kind of school do we want to make it?", find issues, think for themselves, and propose ideas to the principal.
All of these are practices that begin with "passion" and connect to "learning" and then to "society."
