Grade Levels & Academic Year
Grades 10~12 have a maximum capacity of 100 students each, and are divided into twelve homeroom classes. Grade 9 has about 30 students in one homeroom class.
The academic year, which begins in September and ends in June, is made up of three terms.
Supplementary Language Courses
Students can take ESL or JSL classes. The aim of these classes is to improve students' English or Japanese language ability at an advanced pace to ensure competency.
TOEFL
Course offerings and course contents may vary year to year, depending on student numbers, instructors and/or instructor availability.
An in-school placement test, as well as semester grades and teacher recommendation, will determine whether a student should be placed in required elective courses in Grades 9 and 10. The student’s score on the TOEFL test (or other standardized tests) will not necessarily have an effect on the placements. In Grades 11 and 12, a wider variety of elective courses, in addition to Academic Extension, are offered for students to choose from.
