Basic Course
Project-based online international exchange
Students can experience cross-cultural exchange and problem-solving exchanges themed around SDGs with students from overseas. Through a wide range of classes and activities, including English, history, geography, art, home economics, information, research activities, and after-school club activities, students will have the opportunity to connect with schools overseas and participate in projects, discussions, and presentations. Lessons will become even more interactive, fostering a multifaceted global perspective in students.
*Depending on the destination, face-to-face interactions are also possible.
※ Individual programs are also available.
Technology Course
Online international exchange using 3D printers
We hope to increase the number of young people who are interested in "manufacturing," a strength of Japan, and to foster the ability to be active globally through hands-on experience that utilizes their "interests" and "strengths" through collaboration with peers from around the world. Furthermore, by being exposed to the creativity of students from overseas, students' own ideas will be greatly stimulated.
Together with students from the United States, India, Nepal, and other countries, students will create treasure chests, rockets, traditional crafts, self-help tools, and items that make daily life more convenient, and will exchange the process and finished products.
*Depending on the destination, face-to-face interactions are also possible.
※ Individual programs are also available.
Practical Course
Solving actual social issues
You will connect with NGOs, NPOs, and companies both in Japan and overseas and take on the challenge of solving real social issues. Based on design thinking, you will hone your questioning and problem-solving skills by learning how to identify issues, dig deeper, formulate hypotheses, and verify them. Furthermore, by interacting directly with organizations, you will experience real-life issues facing society and gain new insights into your interests and strengths. Furthermore, if you are interested in starting a business, this experience can be a springboard for you to pursue that path.
During the summer and winter, we also offer programs that involve direct visits to overseas organizations.
※ Individual programs are also available.
Global Career Course
Developing leadership skills to succeed on the world stage
By learning from and co-creating with young global leaders and Japanese people active around the world, including Colombian environmental activist Francisco Vera (15 years old), we aim to nurture changemakers who will change the world from local areas in Japan.
How can they get others involved, take action, and spread their message to the world? How can schools and parents provide support? These are themes that we will explore in more depth through regular events and workshops.
We also plan a study tour to Washington, DC in the summer.

"It was very stimulating to have the opportunity to discuss together as a team with the Indian teachers to create lesson plans. It was encouraging to have colleagues with the same aspirations around the world, and it gave me an opportunity to reconsider my role as a teacher."
