flat:Many boys are "brains that become maniacs", or children who dig deeper when they become interested, so I think that the role of the school is not how to establish knowledge but how to continue to inspire. increase.One for that is international exchange, and the other is "general education".The latter started in 2004, with high 1 and high 2 semesters removed for 2 hours on Saturdays, basically small classes for humanities, languages, arts, sports, science, and relay courses. Separately, one is to be taken in each semester.As a compulsory requirement, you will take a total of 1 types with high 2 and high 6.

At that time, liberal arts education was reduced at universities, and on the other hand, the number of students who emphasized efficient study specialized in university entrance exams was increasing, so we teachers started to take on liberal arts education in high school.After all, the school thinks that it is most important to prepare a device that stimulates.

Yamagiwa:Unlike sports, the power of learning must be developed in multiple lines, so it is a thought to do only one thing.What I learned here will be useful in other situations, so I think that having a wide range of things that will allow me to change direction in the future will lead to a wealth of academics and possibilities.

Sugita:"Omoro Challenge" is very similar to our school's SGH efforts. Under the theme of "Let's use local biological resources to disseminate as a global product," we will conduct market research and overseas fieldwork.Former high school students, such as going abroad or starting a company, are within reach.I think that these efforts have triggered a lower barrier to taking on challenges.

By the way, one of the students who participated in this project passed the special entrance examination.I go to Kyoto University with about 6 students every year, but there are quite a few students who are interested in it, so I'm wondering if the atmosphere is right.In terms of the ability to take on challenges, as with the public schools in attendance, there is a point that students do not give up their first choice, and I think that the ronin rate is high.

Also, since studying alone cannot broaden the range of human beings, we have prepared various devices so that we can try as many things as possible in our school life.Typical examples are the "Ichiko Festival," "Walking Party," and the "Ichiko Olympics."In each case, the students form an executive committee and build it by themselves, and the teachers only go to support.Confidence is gained by experiencing failures and successes in a group or a small group.If you don't have confidence, you can't challenge anything, so I think it's the way of public schools to build self-affirmation and self-confidence in the school, including school events and club activities, and to support the spirit of taking on challenges. ..

The voices of graduates also have a great influence on the course of students.I think that how much undergraduate students, especially first-year students, feel fulfilled after enrollment, or conversely, how much the university values ​​undergraduate students, will surely be reflected in the next generation. I am.

Yamagiwa:Even if you study at SGH or SSH and enter university with ambition, it is not good if you cannot respond properly.I want cheeky students to sprout in various places, so I would like to give them a chance to do so in the first and second years. I think it is the mission of the university in the future to develop the ambitions of the first year students.

Kishida:We started the Kyoto University tour three years ago, and 3 people participated this year.The atmosphere of our school may be similar to that of Shonan Senior High School, although the difference between the sports festival and the school festival is different.At the school festival, third graders perform 40-minute plays eight times in two days.This year, 3 people came in two days. Looking at the questionnaire for first graders, about 80% are attracted to the school festival and also come to club activities.In that respect, the number of students of the same quality is increasing, and it may be smaller overall than in the past.

However, when I take over the school festival, I am trying to improve it every year, so I feel that the spirit of challenge is still strong. I have not received SSH or SGH designation, and many students do not want to go abroad to study abroad because they want to spend three years at school, so I think the biggest challenge is how to turn their eyes to the outside. increase.

Takehana:A graduate who won the Kyoto University President's Award for his research on the "space lithium problem" last year told us about it at the "Saturday Future Course" in July.Actually, four years ago, I asked this graduate to give a "Saturday Future Course" to "learn from a senior in science", and perhaps because of that influence, this year I enrolled nine people at Kyoto University, including Ronin. I received it.Many girls are not confident and cannot raise their hands unless they are 7% confident.

Therefore, we have prepared a lot of gimmicks that make you think that you may be able to do it, such as interacting with your longing seniors, reporting on the efforts inside and outside the university with each other.Overseas training has been conducted for about 30 years.You can become independent by noticing the difference in values ​​and spending time at another person's house away from your parents.I feel that the experience of experiencing hardships is more important than improving English. I started studying abroad for 3 months from 3 years ago and it has been effective.
