Academics at iGlobal Division

At EIRI Girls’ High School, the focus is on output-type classes using knowledge from diverse sources to make the best use of a limited three-year program. Students are immersed in active learning classes, which combine activities in communication between teachers and students in lecture-type courses where students can think and make judgments based on deep learning. They then reflect on the concepts, knowledge, and experience learned in during these optimized cycles. In addition to deepening the knowledge the students have gained, they can combine their academic experience and connect it with society, developed the ability to cooperate with others, and acquire the "thinking, judgment, and expression skills" required for a new university entrance exam from 2020.

The Check & Follow system is an essential part of students daily study. During the morning learning period, students take small tests on their tablets and the results are sent to the student's advisor/tutor who offers academic support on a daily basis.

Throughout the year, we conduct regular tests, practical tests and English tests in a well-balanced manner. By constantly studying tests in one month cycle, you can accumulate academic achievement at a fast pace. For the practical tests in particular, we will create a flow of pre-examinations-ex post commentary-learning counseling and support the PDCA cycle of learning to circulate efficiently.

After the end-of-term exams for each semester, specialized training courses
are held to students study for entrance exams. We will try to analyze the latest admissions trends, look at challenging issues with critical thinking skills, and tackle essay problems. We combine various approaches, analyze this issue multiple angles, and develop students ability to judge comprehensively as well as help guide answers. After the training, we distribute the post-assignments and promote academic development.

We regularly conduct academic counseling (homeroom teacher interview) to provide thorough support for learning. Before advisement, the homeroom teacher and the teacher in charge of the subject hold a "conference (grade meeting)" based on each student's learning situation, performance change, and career goals. By discovering each student's strengths and weaknesses, students receive coaching points, giving them the confidence to achieve academic excellence.

Students can actively utilize the iGlobal notebook on their tablets, a digital planner, which can track students daily schedule, track their study hours, keep a record of their learning and chart overall progress. Teachers will also use this digital notebook for performance management and academic counseling. It will be the most influential tool students have to optimize their high school life.
