Launch of WAO High School Okayama: Where Exploration Meets Learning

WAO High School Okayama Launches Unique Educational Program

In a groundbreaking collaboration, WAO High School has partnered with NIJIN Academy to introduce an exciting educational opportunity in Okayama Prefecture. Set to open its doors in October, WAO High School Okayama aims to provide a high-quality education that transcends conventional school structures, ensuring every child has the opportunity to shine.

A New Learning Environment

This new facility, the first physical branch of NIJIN Academy in Okayama, offers a blend of online and real-world learning experiences tailored for students from grades 5 to 9. Each Wednesday, students will gather for dynamic, interdisciplinary learning sessions that span multiple grades, promoting an inclusive learning community where peers can explore their passions together.

Emphasizing Exploration and Connection

At WAO High School Okayama, the focus is on discovery—both of oneself and the surrounding society. Students have the unique opportunity to deepen their explorations through various activities, such as engaging workshops during the morning sessions, where they'll participate in dialogues that enrich their understanding of subjects not typically covered in textbooks. Afternoons will be dedicated to fieldwork and projects utilizing AI, encouraging students to find new avenues as they uncover their interests.

Blended Learning Approach

The program also incorporates online learning, with sessions held two to five times a week through NIJIN Academy. Each day begins with a homeroom, followed by classes that cater to students’ personal interests and levels of understanding. Additionally, students can join nationwide project activities and clubs, fostering connections with peers from across Japan.
