Educational Policy

Wishing you a multi-chanceful life through fulfilled school days!

Ichiro Okawa

Welcome to Senior High School at Otsuka, University of Tsukuba website!

Our educational goal is well-balanced whole-person education based on our education policy – Independence, Autonomy and Freedom.

High School days are the most important time in one’s road of life to acquire oneself. A student will clarify his or her dream, hope and mission of future life on the base of preparation to go out into society and the protection and the support by parents and teachers. It is also the time for students to talk together and to build a relationship between peers. These relations will be lasting possibly for the rest of life even after graduation and it may support and enlighten one’s life.

Compulsion is not suitable and it should be free under the spirit of this significant high school days. This freedom is different from being “selfish” or “self-centered” as Eric Fromm states. True freedom could be obtained only when independence and autonomy are achieved for those who can internalize the values and rules of society and school, as our school student’s pride and awareness.

The students in our school do not have any passive attitudes such as the school, teachers or friends “will do something for them”. Instead, they can think of what is the most important thing for themselves and take actions to create a fulfilled school life by themselves.

The main feature of our school is the focus on student’s comprehensive strength. We do not only weight on academic ability required to enter university, but also weight on achieving ability to learn and research initiatively in university, and furthermore, we weight on useful ability to become useful to society. In order to carry out this policy, we respect student’s Independence, Autonomy and Freedom and we also value sharing experiences of academic, sport and cultural activities. As a result, we are proud to produce the graduates who have taken leader’s role and fulfilled their lives in various fields such as industry, government, academy, private business, art etc. for over 130 years since our foundation year 1888

These performances have been recognized by government and designated as a Super Global High School which brings up those who could lead the next generation in Japan and the world, from the year 2014 to the year 2018. In our school, we nurture the leaders who could think and act globally. To achieve this, it would be important to acquire “expertise and culture”, ”problem solving” , “communication ability and presentation ability”, “independence and cooperation” , “cross-cultural understanding and identity as a Japanese” and furthermore to heighten the skills of “language”, “discussion” , and “global perspective”.

We, all the faculty and staff members, will support every single students to learn on the basis of excellent establishment, catching these new waves at national level, and fulfill his or her high school years without any regrets at the calm atmospheric campus.
