Overview
editAs part of Aichi's Startup project, the school received approval from Aichi Prefecture on April 1, 2022, to be established as an “Article 1” school, with the aim of providing international high school education to students.[4][5][6]
Classes at the school are limited to 25 students, promoting interactive learning and closer teacher-student interaction.[7] The faculty includes members from various countries, and many hold advanced degrees in their respective fields, according to the school’s faculty records.[8] The school employs the case method of education, a participant centered learning approach that encourages critical thinking and group discussions across various subjects.
High School Program
editThe school offers a dual diploma program, allowing students to earn both a Japanese high school diploma and an International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP). The Pre-IB year (Grade10) prepares students for the academic rigor of the IBDP, which spans Grades11&12. Students study both the Japanese national curriculum and the IBDP subjects, developing research skills, analytical abilities, and self-management skills. The school also offers a Summer Camp and a Bridging Program, which prepares students for the school’s academic structure.
International Diversity
editThe student body represents a diverse range of nationalities, reflecting the school's international focus. As of 2024, students from 23 countries are enrolled.[9]

Each floor of the residence hall has themed living areas equipped with common facilities such as washrooms, a dining hall, a study room, laundry facilities, and a prayer room. The dormitory is divided by gender, with separate floors for male and female students, and security measures are in place.[10]
