10th Grade Curriculum

All tenth grade students follow the same curriculum, with approximately half of their 35 fifty-minute classes per week taught in English. Students attend seven classes per day, five days a week. Prior to entering the eleventh grade, students choose some optional classes that reflects where they intend to pursue university studies.



11th / 12th Grade Curriculum

Elective course selection depends upon whether a student intends to proceed to a Japanese or to a non-Japanese university. In addition to an enriched English program, students aiming for non-Japanese universities may elect to take science and humanities classes in English as well. Furthermore, these students can also enroll in Advanced Placement Classes (Calculus or Studio Art) in their senior year.
