We promise that all staff respect human rights.

We strive to work with local communities and homes.

We are sincere.

Learning Environment

We frequently go outside to learn. For example, we study strata, rivers, and forest in science class.

We live in a place very rich with nature. We can also learn about history. Hitoyoshi Castle was built

about 400 years ago near our school. Even now, there remains a part of the walls. That direct

viewing experience is important for students.

An ALT(Assistant Language Teacher) comes to teach English every week in our school.

Local people come to tell students about traditional culture.
