Experience the Future of Education at Dalton X Academy Open House
Dalton X Academy High School, set to open in April 2027 in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, is a trailblazer in Japanese education with its unique model that combines distance learning, full boarding, and exploratory studies both domestically and internationally. The school, which will be based in Ichinoseki but also includes a Tokyo campus, is set to hold its first-ever in-person open house events from June to August. During these gatherings, prospective students and their families will have the opportunity to explore the campus and learn about the institution's innovative educational philosophy.
School Overview
Dalton X Academy is on the forefront of modern education, preparing students to engage dynamically with the world around them. The curriculum is heavily influenced by the educational practices of Minerva University in the United States, focusing on experiential learning and community engagement. Students will rotate between residence at the Ichinoseki main campus and the Tokyo campus during their first and third years, while their second year will involve extended stays at various regional bases across Japan and abroad.
Open House Details
The open house will feature detailed presentations on Dalton X’s educational ideals, including the increasingly popular inquiry-based learning approach where students will be encouraged to venture into different regions for hands-on learning experiences. Event attendees will have guided tours of the facilities, including insights into the student dormitories and other facilities currently under renovation.
