In the first place, girls value horizontal relationships more than vertical relationships.The president was also said to be reciprocal, but while acknowledging each other, we will create a relationship where we will do our best together.At our school, we want to send out as many women as possible who can transform society around this.Since it is located in Tokyo, there are a few more aspirants at the University of Tokyo than at Kyoto University, but there are also many core Kyoto University fans.There are many students who feel that the culture of Kyoto University, which values ​​the horizontal relationship by taking advantage of the characteristics of women, is more suitable than the university that values ​​the vertical relationship as it is in the male society. Students who participated in the "Kyoto University High School Student Forum in Tokyo" (bottom photo), applied for the "Impression Contest", won a prize, and were invited to "Let's go to Kyoto University!" Nevertheless, I chose Kyoto University.Now, the Kyoto Gakuenkai is being formed around the children.

Sou Uzaki (Joshigakuin Junior and Senior High School):Our school is 146 years old and celebrates its 150th anniversary in the year of the Tokyo Olympics.It is said that freedom and autonomy are valued, but the teachings of the Bible are consistently passed there.There are only four school rules, and many things are decided by myself, or rather I ask the Bible.The uniform was abolished in 1972.However, it can still be purchased as one of the plain clothes.School events such as sports festivals and school festivals were also popular.During the summer vacation of high school XNUMX, a training session is held in the dormitory of Gotemba for two nights and three days.Think thoroughly about your way of life or religion in a place that is fairly close to philosophy.

There are many students who start studying for entrance exams from there, so it is no wonder that the entrance exam schedule is early.There are many curious students, and I intend to let them experience the whole thing at school events, but I don't think they are able to dissipate all their energy.Therefore, I hope that higher education will be given as many experiences as possible, rather than being packed with knowledge, and I would like the teachers to show a variety of rear views.

I think that students will be able to envision their future and find out what they need to learn while looking at it because they intend to develop a sensibilities that make them sensitive to such things.Speaking of science and humanities, our school is a liberal arts education school, so it is almost compulsory up to high school XNUMX.In high school XNUMX, there are unavoidable elective courses to prepare for entrance exams, but many students are not conscious of science and humanities, and may change their course after entering university.

This may be according to the interests and interests of that time, but what we have been saying for six years, "We should move in that direction while knowing where we are used." I think it's also an expression. There is almost no competition in the school because we have been thoroughly educating people to value their individuality in their freedom for XNUMX years.There is no perfect attendance award, and no other XX awards are set up, and instead of competing, we are fostering an attitude of acknowledging individual characteristics and learning.During junior high school, there may be some conflicts, but in high school, each person's goodness is firmly recognized and they are mutually enhanced.

Regarding the entrance examination, I hope that the university will clarify the desired image of the students so that they can go on to school with mutual love.For some reason, I went to Kyoto University in double digits last year.Of course, it doesn't always last every year.At our school, I saw graduates who had advanced to Kyoto University returned to their summer vacation and were enthusiastically appealing that it was fun and that it was a free inter-school city.I feel that I got a very good impression after enrolling.

Yamagiwa:At American universities, it was said that they were planning their lives well, but in Japan today, the image of undergraduate students is similar to that of old high school students.For this reason, it is likely that you are choosing a university, faculty, or department when you have not properly set your goals for life, so you may have to be able to relearn or make more flexible choices. ..

Even at Kyoto University, the Faculty of Comprehensive Human Sciences is a fusion of literature and science.There is also an ILAS seminar (formerly Pocket Seminar) that guides students who have entered the year to the forefront of academics, so by attending them, you can know what you are looking for.The transfer department is not easy because of the results of the entrance examination, but even if you cannot, you can take classes in other departments and receive credits.It is easy to change course when entering graduate school.

Miyamoto: The keyword of our school's education is "big vessel".I want to nurture a person with a big vessel who can accept whatever values ​​and ideas appear in any era.Through various experiences that can only be done at our school, we are nurturing various perspectives and ways of thinking, such as "there was such a perspective," "there was such a world," and "there was such a person."The bottom of the vessel is human nature.No matter how smart he is, it is a bucket with a hole that is not trusted by people.

Human nature is something that you interact with various people and struggle to make together, so I also try to actively engage with others.We prepared a lot of menus this summer as well.Some of the things that go to university laboratories and hospitals are that the alumnus, the director of the Shima Peninsula, will take care of the students during the summer vacation.12 people in XNUMX term a week.Twelve people were taken care of during the period, and I had various experiences with medical students of Mie University.The returning students were shining when they became doctors in rural areas.Others go to work for job shadowing.

In this way, we are actively making efforts to make students understand what it means to work and study, but as with universities, what we can do at school is reaching its limits.The only way to increase the menu in the future is to expand the circle of supporters.Therefore, we are actively asking parents, alumni, and local residents.Fortunately, however, I am very grateful that the number of people who understand that they are willing to cooperate in efforts to raise children is increasing recently.Contrary to Mr. Takada's place, the girls are fine.Parents also do not hesitate to go to a distant university in Japan, because girls go abroad and do not hesitate to go to a distant university, probably because they understand the school spirit before enrolling their children.

Because of the free school spirit, there are many students who go on to Kyoto University, whether they think it smells the same as our school or whether they have their own way of thinking.There are 15 people this year, 16 people last year, and 15 people two years ago, the highest number in eastern Japan these days.It seems that one trend has already been made, such as graduates inviting juniors through club activities.I have the impression that students who are likely to grow up are choosing not only the University of Tokyo but also Kyoto University and other universities that they can make use of.

Yamagiwa:I think it's very good for high school students who grew up in Tokyo to live a student life in Kyoto.Kyoto has a population of 147 million and is the optimal size for a community. Since one in ten is a student, the eyes of citizens are different.It's just a student in Tokyo, but it's one of the scenery for Kyoto people.They are neighbors, people who help with the work, and are the objects that we raise.

Culture is something that you can feel on your skin, so if you have a deep contact, the culture will permeate well.In particular, girls may be able to learn a strong way of life that makes use of traditions and culture.In Tokyo, where it is necessary to adapt to new things, it is necessary to establish an individual and build human relationships after firmly recognizing the interests, but in Kyoto, although the meaning is not clear, it is obsessed with this culture. There is an atmosphere that it will be manageable if it goes.This should be fresh for students in Tokyo.
