Gifu Kita Schedule

　Gifu Kita Senior High School is located in the north end of Gifu City in Gifu Prefecture , Japan. For almost 70 years, Gifu Kita High School has prided itself on academic excellence and its ability to provide a wide range of extracurricular activities to its more than 1,000 students.

　As one of the top-ranked schools in Gifu Prefecture, almost all of our students apply to go to university following graduation, with the vast majority attending private or national universities.

　We also offer a wide range of sports and cultural clubs. A number of these clubs have participated in National and Tokai District Competitions over the last few years.

　Gifu Kita High School students also have the invaluable opportunity to participate in the　international exchange. Since 1992, we have sent approximately 14 students every other year to Catlin Gabel School, in Portland, Oregon, United States, for about ten days. Students from Catlin Gabel also attend Gifu Kita High School for about a week every second year. Through these exchanges and other programs at our school, we hope to instill a sense of internationalization and global awareness in our students to help them become better citizens of Japan.

　Please enjoy the rest of your visit of ourschool's website. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us (in Japanese or in English) by mail, phone, fax or e-mail.
