Waseda Shibuya Senior High School

The school's core philosophy is 'Jicho-Jiko,' which emphasizes the development of self-awareness and independent thought. It aims to nurture students who possess strong ethics and morality, enabling them to distinguish right from wrong and act with consideration for others. Furthermore, the school strives to cultivate global citizens who can understand their own culture while deepening their knowledge of others through cross-cultural experiences in Singapore.

The school follows the Japanese high school curriculum, providing a comprehensive education that emphasizes academic excellence and language proficiency. It offers specialized English language instruction in small groups to develop practical communication skills. The curriculum is supported by career education programs and various academic subjects designed to prepare students for university entrance and future professional success.

As an affiliate of Waseda University, the school provides a direct internal recommendation pathway for students to enroll at the university. Additionally, the school prepares students for admission to other prestigious national and private universities in Japan and abroad through a robust academic curriculum and career guidance. The school aims to produce graduates who are global citizens capable of contributing to Asia and the wider world.

The school provides a health room and professional school counseling services to support the physical and mental well-being of its students. These resources are integrated into the school environment to ensure students have access to necessary guidance and care during their high school years.

The school offers two main admission categories: 'General' for students whose parents reside or work overseas (or plan to), and 'Transfer' for students currently residing in Japan or abroad. Prospective families can access detailed application requirements, information on entrance examinations, and school briefing schedules through the school's website. The admissions process is designed to accommodate the needs of Japanese expatriate families.

The school operates on a structured academic calendar that includes major school events such as the Sports Festival, Seiran Festival (school festival), school trips, and overnight training sessions. The academic year is divided into terms, with dormitory fees collected on a term-by-term or annual basis. The dormitory is closed during summer, winter, and spring breaks.

The campus features air-conditioned classrooms, a library and information center with computer facilities, science labs, art rooms, and a traditional Japanese room. Sports facilities include a naturally ventilated gymnasium, a 25-meter swimming pool, all-weather tennis courts, and an artificial turf field with a jogging track. The school also provides an on-site dormitory with 219 individual rooms for students, as well as a student hall that serves as a cafeteria and event space.

Students participate in a wide range of clubs, including sports such as basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, swimming, table tennis, kendo, and ultimate frisbee. Cultural and academic clubs include the brass band, art, cooking, tea ceremony, competitive karuta, light music (MMA), and science research. These activities provide students with opportunities for personal growth and interaction outside of the classroom.
