Dalton X Academy to open in Iwate and Tokyo in 2027

Kawaijuku Gakuen has received approval from Iwate Prefecture to establish Dalton X Academy, a wide-area correspondence high school scheduled to open in April 2027. The school will operate two main campuses: the Ichinoseki Campus in Iwate Prefecture and the Tokyo Campus in Chofu, Tokyo.

Inspired by the educational model of Minerva University, the school focuses on inquiry-based learning and offers both an Inquiry Course and a Global Course. The Global Course will provide international curricula, such as the Minerva Baccalaureate and International A-Levels, to prepare students for overseas universities.

The Ichinoseki Campus will repurpose a closed elementary school and renovated housing to serve as a learning field for addressing regional issues like population decline. The Tokyo Campus will collaborate with NTT East to utilize the NTT e-City Labo, allowing students to explore advanced technologies including generative AI, data science, drones, and autonomous driving to solve social challenges.
