Introduction

As the number of students enrolling in remote high schools continues to rise, Premaseed, a media company operating the portal site 'Go Communication High School', has initiated the production of school introduction videos. These videos aim to convey the real atmosphere and daily experiences of students at remote high schools and support prospective students in selecting the right school for themselves.

Background of the Videos

According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the number of students in remote high schools is projected to exceed 300,000 by the 2025 school year. Already, one in ten high school students is attending a remote high school, leading to an increase in campuses and diversification of services and supports in this area. However, with this diversification comes the challenge of identifying which school is the best fit for each individual student.

When selecting a remote high school, both students and their parents typically consider factors like the number of in-person attendance days and the support services offered, alongside the atmosphere of each school. The difference in personal motivation and support needs makes the school environment crucial for students, as it directly affects their comfort and ability to make friends. While academic programs and support details are typically available on official websites, the school's ambiance is often hard to assess from the outside.

Though some remote high schools have started active promotion on social media, students often present a curated image that may not reflect the authentic experience. Therefore, Premaseed decided to create these school introduction videos to accurately depict student life and school culture.

Video Content and Features

The primary focus of these videos is to convey the genuine atmosphere of the school. Students will appear in their everyday outfits, sharing their experiences and discussing what makes their school special. The video content will include various segments such as "Uniform Lookbook," "Awesome Friends Relay," and "Campus Tour" to showcase the school's vibe through the lens of the students themselves.

Some footage has already been recorded at various schools, capturing real student perspectives. One student expressed the need for more members on the baseball team, indicating that they may need to collaborate with other schools. This kind of student message helps portray an authentic image of the school environment, while also providing students with valuable firsthand experience in sharing their school's appeal and their personal insights, potentially motivating other interested students.

Additional dimensions of the videos will explore the surrounding facilities, relationships with teachers, and overall school culture—all aimed at helping prospective students find the right fit for their educational journey.

Addressing the Challenge of Conveying School Atmosphere

In discussing the initiative, CEO Akihito Iwata highlighted the need for authentic representation. He remarked on how crucial it is for students to truly understand the ambiance of a school before making decisions about their futures. He noted that the nuances of each school cannot be fully captured through pamphlets or presentations alone, and that capturing student voices authentically is a significant part of the process.

Future Developments

Currently, videos from NHK Gakuin High School and Asuka Mirai High School have been published, while content featuring Renaissance High School and Yoyogi Global Academy is under development. Further recordings with more schools are in progress, with plans to release the content successively. The video series will expand through engaging formats like the "Uniform Lookbook" and "Awesome Friends Relay," presenting diverse aspects of each school's unique appeal from the students' perspective.

Conclusion

'Go Communication High School' serves as a portal for students seeking a remote high school, offering a valuable resource that transcends simplistic comparisons based on academic rankings and reputation. The platform aims to match the individuality of students' needs and aspirations with the distinctive characteristics of schools established to meet them.
