Message from the Principal
Principal Katsuyuki Ōtsuka
Since the beginning of the 2021 academic year, the school has become a regular course school. This school’s educational philosophy (mission) is to nurture and raise kind and strong-willed students with an intense desire to inquire and learn.
In Junior High School we are providing students with English skills they can use around the world. We also help cultivate their academic skills through ‘fight notes,’ morning tests, and after-school supplementary classes.
At the high school level, the Career Guidance Department plays a vital role in providing support for higher education through tutoring, college guidance, and seminars during school breaks. On top of this, the "Nichikoma Kouhu Juku" has a college preparatory support system which ensures success at even the most difficult universities, such as Tokyo University, Waseda University, and Keio University.
While we continue to strengthen Nichikoma's university-preparatory model/system, our focus is to ensure the students have a greater goal than simply seeking university admissions.
I believe that this includes us, the faculty member, in that we too must seek to improve our own character and personality. Is not the goal of education found within the process of nurturing and cultivating of one’s character and personality. While always asking ourselves this question, we, as teachers, will continue to practice what we have learned, always placing importance on nurturing character.
Characteristics of NIT Komaba Junior High and High School
Founded in 1907, our school originally had a single-minded focus on providing technical education with the intention of producing mid-level engineers. In 2008, we decided to create our current three general-education courses (advanced, advanced science and math, and general college prep) and aim to become a mid-level college preparatory school. This was a huge turning point for us. Now, we are working toward a new goal of ceasing operation of our jointly established technical courses and exclusively offering a general-education curriculum based on our ten years of experience administering such a curriculum.
Ever since we jointly established a general-education curriculum 12 years ago, we have been diligently working toward the changes we are about to make. That led to us achieve the continuing-education results we did and to develop this new educational policy of an exclusive general-education curriculum.
Educational Goals of NIT Komaba Junior High and High School
First, we want to increase the number of students who get accepted to national and public universities as well as private universities that are notoriously difficult to enter; our goal is for 100 students to be accepted to GMARCH schools. But at the same time, scholastic achievement is not our only focus—we also hold building character in high regard. We want to teach students to empathize and truly understand one another. Rather than just cramming their heads full of information, we want students to broaden their knowledge through cultured education. We want them to enter society as people with purpose. While scholarship is important, we wish for students to always work together in their studies so that they build character, and we want to help build the character of our faculty members as well. We will continue doing everything in our power to support students as they grow into profound human beings who can get accepted at their next educational institutions of choice.
