Japanese high school university preparation trends
Overview
Japanese high schools are increasingly engaging in activities to support student transitions to higher education, ranging from career exploration to global university admissions.
Initial efforts focused on practical campus visits and academic exposure. Programs at schools such as Tohoku Gakuin High School and Clark Memorial International High School included mock lectures, campus tours, and sessions with alumni to assist students with career planning and entrance exam preparation.
This focus has expanded toward internationalization. Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen Shibuya Junior and Senior High School reported significant success in both domestic admissions to top-tier institutions and overseas placements at universities such as the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia. To support this trend, the International Student Success Association is hosting a symposium at Ritsumeikan University to discuss curricula design for overseas advancement and international training.
