Kakamihara incorporates a wide variety of subjects and extracurricular activities to provide a well rounded education for its students. Kakami-hara students are well prepared for the entrance exams for both public and private universities throughout Japan.
We offer a unique curriculum, which allows students to choose one of three courses they want to study. Designed to encourage students to study foreign cultures and the international scene, the English course concentrates on the English language employing a full time assistant English teacher from an English speaking country. The Math/Science Course enables students to focus on physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology as well as taking other classes. The General Course provides students with lessons in all the major subjects.
Whatever a students'personal interest, Kakamihara offers a wide range of club activities from sports to computers. Our excellent athletics program encourages students to take part in a wide variety of sports. From kendo (traditional Japanese fencing) to rugby, students can find a sport they enjoy. We are particulary famous for our soccer team, whichhas won many prestigous awards including being ranked as one the best eight high school soccer teams in the country.
In addition our Biology Club was choosen as one the best high school biology clubs in the country. Club members attended an awards ceremony in Tokyo attended by Akishinomiya, the second son of the Japanese emperor, and his wife. Our Assistant English teacher, currently from the United States, organizes activites for the English Speaking Society allowing students to practice their conversation skills with a native speaker.
