In a global society of the future centered around IT and AI, it is necessary to have a wide range of quality knowledge without being bound to just the humanities. iGlobal Division provides a wide-ranging education in three years. Among them, we emphasize the importance of English and mathematics, which is especially necessary for the future. We have established uniquely distinctive subjects such as “Practical English,” “Liberal Arts,” “Science English” and “mathematical exploration.” The program fosters a range of classes using proactive and interactive learning, deep active learning and general learning styles. The goal is the acquisition of a wide sphere of high-quality knowledge centered on “thinking power, judgment, and expressive power” necessary for tomorrows society.

1. Intelligence (Academic Achievement)
A Strong Foundation in the Liberal Arts for Living in the New Era
In order to prepare young women for the world of tomorrow and the challenges of new university admissions from 2020, we have designed a high-quality education centered around a fusion of the humanities that allows understanding of humanities + science and math.

Deep Active Learning Style Lessons
At EIRI Girls’ High School, the focus is on output-type classes using knowledge from diverse sources to make the best use of a limited three-year program. Students are immersed in active learning classes, which combine activities in communication between teachers and students in lecture-type courses where students can think and make judgments based on deep learning. They then reflect on the concepts, knowledge, and experience learned in during these optimized cycles. In addition to deepening the knowledge the students have gained, they can combine their academic experience and connect it with society, developed the ability to cooperate with others, and acquire the “thinking, judgment, and expression skills” required for a new university entrance exam.
-
Academic Advancement with Special Courses and Post-Assignments
After the end-of-term exams for each semester, specialized training courses are held to students study for entrance exams. We will try to analyze the latest admissions trends, look at challenging issues with critical thinking skills, and tackle essay problems. We combine various approaches, analyze this issue multiple angles, and develop students ability to judge comprehensively as well as help guide answers. After the training, we distribute the post-assignments and promote academic development.
-
Academic Counseling for each Student
We regularly conduct academic counseling (homeroom teacher interview) to provide thorough support for learning. Before advisement, the homeroom teacher and the teacher in charge of the subject hold a “conference (grade meeting)” based on each student’s learning situation, performance change, and career goals. By discovering each student’s strengths and weaknesses, students receive coaching points, giving them the confidence to achieve academic excellence.
2. Intercultural Communication(Global Communication Ability)
English Ability to Connect with the World x Global Communication Skills
In a future where globalization is advancing rapidly, English and intercultural communication skills are essential in a society where diverse people around the world come and travel, regardless of whether they are overseas or in Japan. With an emphasis on English language classes, students can effectively incorporate e-learning and English conversation practice, and acquire the ability to use them to connect with the world.

3. ICT & STEAM(ICT & Logical Thinking Ability, Science Literacy)
STEAM Education – Life in a Society with Advanced Technology
“Steam” education encompasses the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. In the future, the interconnection between ICT and society will be much more profound, requiring today’s students to have advanced reasoning skills centered around “computerization and data.” This type of reasoning is grounded in the thinking of mathematics, so to speak, the grammar of thought. Computer programming is the ultimate expression of logical thinking and mathematical language. During science and math education, we develop logical thinking skills in the process of programming and creating algorithms for the production of applications and robots.

Create "My Own Website" and Communicating with World Through the Web
It is a common era to send information on its own web media. In today’s society, it’s natural to share your life with others using social media.

In the science of information class, students learn about computers, networking, algorithms, IT and AI. The results of their activities in EIRI iGlobal STEAM Program will be shared across the web through the students own website.

Mathematical Development for a Deeper Exploration of Programming and Problem Solving
The information society of the future will require basic knowledge and conceptual understanding of AI for careers in the humanities, sciences and technology fields. From the second grade of high school, students will dive into the language of Python, an integral component in AI utilization, after studying mathematical statistics, matrices and calculus. To connect these AI skills with societal needs, students contribute to the community by solving problems by utilizing ICT.
-
Creation and Development of Apps and Robots
Knowledge and skills learned by STEAM education can be developed into various activities outside the class. It also leads to social contribution activities such as creating new applications for smartphones and creating something useful for society by operating robots and drones using programming. iGlobal Division is also a place of creation and expression.
