Shigakukan High School

INTRODUCTION

SHIGAKUKAN HISTORY

Shigakukan High School is managed by Shigakkan University, along with a Junior College and Kindergarten. Originally Chukyo Sewing Girls School was established in 1905, before changing its name to Chukyo Women’s University High School in 1948. Our new name Shigakukan commemorated a fresh start as a coeducational High School in 2005.

Empathy and respect for self and others.

CREATING TOGETHER

Inspiration from cooperation and collaboration.

STUDENT AND FACULTY

We presently have over 1500 students supported by more than 100 faculty members, and over 30,000 graduates since our founding.

PRINCIPAL GREETING

We were delighted to welcome our new students under our fully bloomed cherry blossoms this April, Reiwa 6 (2024). Thanks to the ongoing cooperation of many, we were able to return to many aspects of our pre-Covid 19 school life due to lighter restrictions. We at Shigakukan do our utmost to make each student's three years of high school life full of dreams and aspirations, fulfilling and enjoyable.

Shigakukan High School caters to the diversity of all our students' aspirations through various General, Home Management and Business courses. In addition, thriving events and sports clubs aiming for national championships, enrich our students' high school life. We endeavour to support our students', academically, and in the career paths they decide to pursue.

Just as the lyrics in our school song, Dream Chaser, say, always aspire to a higher place.
