Kansai University Senior High School, the final stage of a uniform education system from elementary to senior high school, aims to develop students into ethical and dignified human beings. Through the characteristic of this system, we ultimately hope to develop internationally-active human resources who can respect diverse values while maintaining a broad perspective and a sense of balance.
Kansai University Senior High School boasts a quality Safety Science Course. Along with basic subjects, we teach safety science, a new academic field of studying safety and the sustainability of society, which enhances students' multifaceted thinking abilities based on the perspectives of social and natural sciences. In addition, we provide students with "Project Subjects", in which students research and analyze problems in an environment where they think and act on their own, developing their problem-solving skills.
Graduates of Kansai University Senior High School will be offered a "fast-track" admission to any faculty of Kansai University, but they may also apply to other public universities, or to faculties of private universities that Kansai University does not offer, such as medicine, dentistry, or pharmacy.
Kansai University Junior High School aims to help students attain high academic abilities by systematically allotting the school's discretionary hours (based on a close inspection of university entrance examinations) to five subjects: English, Japanese, mathematics, social studies, and science. In particular, seven classes per week for English, which is a featured characteristic of the school, are conducted by a diverse staff, including Japanese English teachers, native English teachers, and instructors for international understanding education. Furthermore, our Global Study Tour program, scheduled for the third-year students, is aimed at broadening their views through opportunities such as home-stay and fieldwork experience in Canada.
We also intend to help students enhance their own thinking abilities in a variety of learning activities, which is another characteristics of our school. For that purpose, we have carefully designed classes to give students an opportunity to develp thinking skills in every subject, while requiring a "Logical Thinking Class" every week. In the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) environment, every classroom is equipped with a large-scale plasma display panel, used as an electronic blackboard, in order for students to acquire the abilities of gathering and sorting information, as well as hone their own critical thinking skills. An individual student's record will be digitalized into an e-portfolio so as to facilitate quick monitoring of one's learning.
In accordance with its motto "Through Deep Learning with High Aspiration", Kansai University Elementary School aims to foster proactive students by providing them with educational opportunities to reach their full potential. We help students develop a sense of purpose in learning and acquire the skills for seeking answers to their own questions. As we believe that obtaining necessary thinking skills is as important as obtaining knowledge, we offer students MUSE Learning, in which they learn their thinking skills, while arranging time for book-reading activities. Students are encouraged to exercise these skills in basic subjects, intercultural exchange classes, as well as their daily lives at school and at home. In addition, we have a dynamic ICT (Information and Communication Technology) environment, and promote cooperation with Kansai University and the local community. We also organize activities and events for groups consisting of first to sixth graders jointly with Kansai University Junior and Senior High School, with the aim of nourishing their healthy bodies and sensitive minds.
