Waseda Osaka Gakuen Educational Corporation will change the name of Waseda Setsuryo High School (Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture) to "Waseda Osaka High School" from April 2025. We have set up Waseda University recommendation slots for 4 people, and established the ``Waseda Course,'' which specializes in admission to Waseda University. We will further deepen our high school/university partnership with Waseda University and take on the challenge of new education.
Waseda University has Waseda University High School (boys' school) and Waseda University Honjo High School (co-educational) as affiliated schools that are 100% admitted to Waseda University under the same corporation, and Waseda Setsuryo High School as an affiliated school of a separate corporation. (coeducational), Waseda Jitsugyo High School (coeducational, approximately 100% recommendation slot), Waseda High School (boys school, approximately 50% recommendation slot), Waseda Shibuya Singapore School (coeducational, approximately 80% recommendation slot), Waseda Saga High School (Co-educational, about 50% recommended quota).
Of these, Waseda Setsuryo High School, which was established in 1962 and became an affiliated school in 2009, changed its name to ``Waseda Osaka High School,'' taking a further step as ``Osaka's WASEDA,'' which is rooted in the local community. In addition, the school will be an open school that focuses on the local Osaka area and attracts students from all over western Japan who aim to attend Waseda University.
The number of people recommended to Waseda University will be expanded from the current 10% to 74, the highest number in the Kansai region. We have established a ``Waseda Course'' aimed at students entering Waseda University, a ``Literature Course'' aimed at students entering public universities in difficult countries or private universities, and a ``Comprehensive Course'' aimed at entering private universities, creating a new learning space that utilizes STEAM education and EdTech throughout the university. I will provide a. The "Comprehensive course" includes a wind band class (35 people).
The ``Waseda Course'' promotes an education that integrates the arts and sciences, and will be reorganized into a curriculum that is not limited to the arts or sciences until the second year of high school. Features include the establishment of specialized seminars (laboratories) to cultivate active learning abilities, the compulsory course of ``Information II,'' which deals with mathematics and data science, and the practice of ``from inquiry to research'' through writing graduation thesis.
