Japanese

We conduct project-based exploratory learning, utilizing not only textbooks, but also reference books and ICT. We develop the students’ qualities and abilities to understand accurately and express properly in Japanese by selecting accurate information from research and sharing it in groups to deepen the learning. Students compile their own opinions and present them based on their own perspectives and critical ideas. They also develop the ability to respect and accept opinions of others and learn how to approach different opinions. In addition, we utilize the content learned in each unit to develop the qualities and abilities to effectively transmit Japan’s unique culture/customs, and ideas overseas.

Math

We develop lessons that match the students’ proficiency by dividing them into advanced class and basic class.

In basic class, we aim to acquire the textbook content with certainty, and in the advanced class, we aim to further develop mathematical skills by incorporating advanced problems such as entrance examination questions.

Students also read and research articles on quantitative data, and use iMovie to create instructional videos of math problems to develop skills to explain math concepts in English.

We also provide supplemental lessons in Japanese.

Science

Through exploratory learning activities, students will be willing to be involved in science, and they will develop the ability to deepen their understanding of exploring natural phenomena.

Each student and group will develop a project-based lesson that identifies issues, formulates hypotheses, finds ways to investigate and find resolutions, and collects/analyzes data.

In science, supplementary lessons in Japanese are also offered.

Social Studies

In grade seven, students study geography in English. While learning the contents of textbooks, we actively introduce presentations and develop the ability to communicate what we have learned in English.

The eighth and ninth graders study historical and civil fields in Japanese. To foster a social perspective and way of thinking, we explore the history/society of the world, Japan and Okinawa in a deeper and a more global angle based on the contents of textbooks.

In the second half of ninth grade, students will study according to their career path after graduation. They will be divided into courses such as, entrance examination preparation(basic/advanced), according to their proficiency level, and report preparation guidance in English and Japanese.

English

Through the linguistic activities of listening, reading, speaking, and writing, various groups are formed by students’ proficiency levels and class levels; aiming to foster a high-level English proficiency that enables students to study in a learning environment in English-speaking countries.

We teach correct grammar, vocabulary, basic sentence structure, and we also develop students’ ability to read, understand, and write more deeply based on their interests; ultimately helping students find and learn more about themselves by nurturing their qualities and abilities to convey what they have learned.

In addition, students will learn the contents of the curriculum guidelines in “MEXT English” classes and acquire basic grammar.

Furthermore, we conduct TOEFL Junior to improve students’ English proficiency.
