The high school opened in 1994 and the middle school opened in 2003. It is currently one of four junior and senior high schools affiliated with Ritsumeikan University. The Ritsumeikan family of schools also includes Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, located in Beppu, and Ritsumeikan Primary School, located in north Kyoto. The school is noted for its English language education programmes and athletic achievement. The school introduced English immersion education in 2000, and in 2002, it was designated a Super English Language (SEL) high school by the Japanese government. In 2009, the school was authorized by the IBO as the first Article 1 (government approved) Japanese institution in the Kansai region to provide the [IB Diploma Program] (IBDP). In 2014, the school was selected as a Super Global High School by the Japanese government, and in 2019 was awarded the status of a Worldwide Learning School also by the Japanese government. In athletics, the school has a rich history of success in women’s relay marathon Ekiden, including multiple national championships. It also has had national level success in men’s soccer, American football, baton, and other sports. OverviewJunior high schoolThe junior high school consists of five home rooms per grade year and has between 160 and 170 students per grade. Like the high school, the junior high school is known for its English program and international-friendly environment. Every year, approximately 25% of students have experience studying abroad and/or have English as a native language. The school offers four levels of English A1, A2, A3, and Regular. Most of the A1 students take part in the International Preperatory Stream (IPS), which prepares students to matriculate to the school’s IB course. Junior high school students are expected to take part in one of the school’s many sports and culture clubs and get to experience a full school life of study and club. While the majority of students are Japanese, the school welcomes students with Japanese as a second language and offers JSL classes to students who require them. Senior high schoolThe high school is the second oldest high school established by Ritsumeikan University. In each grade, there are approximately 350 to 360 students. Students select one of three course, the Integrated Global Course (IG), the Immersion Course (IM), and the International Baccalaureate Course (IB). IG CourseThe IG Course is the largest course in the school. The language of instruction is Japanese. All students also take English classes according to their level, and French, German, and Chinese language classes are also available. IG students select either Rikei (理系Science-focused) or Bunkei (文系humanities-focused) classes from their second high school year. The majority of students in the IG Course matriculate to one of the Ritsumeikan University campuses, with a minority matriculating to other schools in Japan. Therefore, the IG Course is a feeder course for Ritsumeikan University. IM CourseThe IM course offers blended English and Japanese instruction and is designed for students who wish to improve their English in high school. First year coursework is in both languages, and from part way through their first year students study abroad for a whole academic year either in Canada, USA, or New Zealand. For their senior year, the bulk of all classes are in English. Many IM students matriculate to Ritsumeikan University, while others chose schools in the Tokyo region. A small number of students from the IM Course elect to study overseas for university. IB CourseAuthorised by the IBO in 2009, the IB course has around 25 to 30 students per grade. All classes are taught in English by native-level speakers with the exception of Japanese language class. First year classes prepare students for the challenge of the IB Diploma, and in the second and third year students study IB Diploma classes of their choice. The IB Course offers students the opportunity to earn a dual degree: the universally recognised IB Diploma as well as a standard Japanese high school diploma. Around half of the students matriculate internally from the junior high school, and the other half enter from other Japanese junior high schools or schools overseas. The majority of students in the IB course chose to study at universities other than Ritsumeikan University. Historically, approximately half of the graduates have gone to study overseas and half have remained in Japan. The IB Course regularly achieves exam averages well above the world norm, with multiple students earning outstanding scores of over 40 (our of 45) on the IBDP. In 2012, a student achieved a rare perfect 45. [1] IB Diploma subjects include:
