It is my wish that Asahi Jr. High school will serve as a place where the children can realize their grandest dreams and wishes and where they will find everything they need to study whatever they wish.
“Bright, refreshing and supportive”
This is the form of the school that all who are involved in educating the children at Asahi Jr. High school hope for.
I sincerely hope that we will all be able to work together in harmony and do our best everyday.

By making revisions to our teaching methods based on the needs of each student and by making the most of the merits of small school size we are able to instill in the students the required fundamentals and enhance their unique, individual characteristics.

2.Morals

	•	We help the students develop an attitude of being kind to others while taking care of their own needs as well.
	•	Our staff is working to instill in the students the qualities of an honest heart and to foster an attitude of respect for hard work and of assuming responsibility.

3.Special activities

	•	It is our aim to foster in the students an attitude of fostering independent and autonomous abilities that can be used in a practical manner in order that they may further enjoy their time at school and in group activities with others.
	•	We aim to foster abilities in the students that make the most of their individual talents even while operating in a group, and help them to find the correct way to live as a human being.

4.Life guidance and school guidance

	•	We are working to support the children to grow and develop in a healthy and sound manner by providing accurate, responsive guidance methods tailored to each student and centering on consultation sessions that focus on education related issues.

5.Comprehensive learning time

•

These classes carry out creative, adaptable educational activities based on the interests and concerns of the students under the motto of, “making contact with others”.

1.	Our school is located on a lush, green plateau that has preserved the inherent qualities of the Musashino area and we are surrounded by seasonal flowers and flocks of birds that fly overhead.
2.	We are working to help the students develop in a spirit of “sincerity and love” with the full assistance of their families and the local community.

“Fostering students who can independently find issues to research and who apply their abilities to solve them.”
Changing our students from the idea of simply being passively taught, to being students who learn and think on their own
