(1) About Kyoto Prefectural Hokuryo Senior High School

　Kyoto Prefectural Hokuryo Senior High School is a full-time senior high school located in the north of Kyoto City, founded in 1979. The school consists of six regular classes, which are divided into standard and advanced classes in the first year, and into three courses in the second year: the English Humanities Course, the Environmental Science and Mathematics Course, and the General Integrated Course. Depending on the course, there are 30 to 33 classes per week. The English Language and Humanities Course offers many more practical English classes, the Environmental Science and Mathematics Course provides many opportunities to study mathematics and science, and the General Integrated Course allows students to choose subjects in a variety of fields.

(2) Educational Features

　International education, environmental education, expressive activities, and problem solving are from the basis of our education, and we hold a variety of events. We are actively involved in exchanges with various countries, learning, exploring, and communicating about global environmental issues, as well as developing the ability to connect with others and holding student council activities to foster the diversity necessary to "live in an age with no given right answer.

(3) International education at our school

　In today's globalized society, Hokuryo High School believes that in addition to understanding the cultures of other countries, it is important to take the initiative in learning how to live as a member of the international community. Our goal is to foster students with a global perspective and the ability to take independent action through interaction with people of various languages, cultures, religions, and values. All students, regardless of grade or course, have the opportunity to interact with high school students from overseas, providing opportunities for all students to expand their horizons. In addition to a study trip to Australia for all students in the second grade, the school also offers exchange programs with many visiting schools abroad, such as our sister school TISKL in Malaysia, and for students who want to further their education, we offer several short-term study abroad programs, including the Cambridge Language Program in England. We also offer the "Hokuryo Homestay System," a registration system that allows students to practice international exchange while living their daily lives in Japan. In this way, we aim to encourage students to open their eyes to the world, embrace diversity, and express themselves to people of other cultures without fear. Hokuryo High School creates an environment where students can challenge their own potential.
