School announcements for events & activities will be posted here! Come back to check for updates!
✓ ATTENTION: Camping trips will be scheduled during the summer. Please remember to get your parents to sign the forms or you will not be able to go! Turn in your papers to the office or your homeroom teacher.
High school will be operational for 240 days out of the year. "Students in academic high schools typically take three years each of the following subjects: mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. At the end of the academic day, all students participate in o soji, the cleaning of the school. They sweep the classrooms and the hallways, empty trash cans, clean restrooms, clean chalkboards and chalk erasers, and pick up trash from the school grounds. After o soji, school is dismissed and most students disperse to different parts of the school for club meetings." (Source: Spice Stanford)
The basic school system in Japan is composed of elementary school (lasting six years), middle school (three years), high school (three years), and university (four years). The OUAD schools will be a mixture of American and Japanese culture; therefore, middle school will last for only two years and high school will last for four years.
Look forward to these upcoming events! *v*)/
May/June or September/November | Saturdays and Sundays | Undōkai (運動会) Sports Days
November 3 | Bunka-sai (文化祭) Cultural Festival
Date Unknown | Shuugaku Ryokou a.k.a. School Trip
