Tomiya High School aims to develop students who have an independent personality, a highly enterprising nature and who widely contribute their efforts towards the creation of a multicultural society.

Naturally we strive to help students realize their academic goals, as many of them aspire to go on to university. However, we also encourage an ability to think flexibly and the acquisition of a sense of understanding.

The school has a course structure to meet the needs of the times. Three courses are offered: a Humanities course, an International course and a Science and Mathematics course. We take great care of each student while guiding them through the flexible curriculum which each course offers.

Courses

Humanities Course
In this course we aim to give students a solid grounding within the field of the Liberal Arts in order to develop an independence of thought. We place emphasis on 3 subjects: Japanese Language, Geography and History, with optional courses including Classical Japanese Literature, Human Environment and Local History. The ultimate goal of the course is to help students enter university within the Departments of Literature, Law, Economics, Sociology or Education.

International Course
In the International Course we aim to develop students who can think flexibly and globally to meet the needs of internationalisation. We place emphasis on learning English Language, Geography and History, with optional courses including International Understanding and French as a second foreign language. We aim to cultivate students to take an active part in a modern international society. Most of all, we aim to help students go on to university within the Departments of Foreign Languages, Literature, Law or Economics.

Science and Mathematics Course
In this course we aim to develop students’ skills to prosper in an information orientated and highly technological modern society. We place emphasis on learning the subjects of Science and Mathematics and we also support students to gain a solid grounding in the field of Applied Science. Over all, we aim to help students enter university within the Departments of Science, Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Agriculture or Nursing.

Characteristics of Our School

The Three Course Structure:

From the first year all students are divided into the three courses. We guide students meticulously according to their aptitude and academic goals and believe that students develop their talents and potential best through a well balanced curriculum as characterised by each course.

Careful Career Guidance

We take great care in ensuring that as many students as possible can continue their education at university level. Each course requires first year students to study the basic subjects of Japanese Language, Mathematics and English, and in the second and third years there is also a wide variety of optional courses for students to choose from. We strive to give a broad-based education which can help students enter university easily and pursue their chosen future career path.
