敦賀氣比高等學校及附屬中學校, Private combined middle and high school in Tsuruga, Japan.
Kehi High School and Junior High School is a private combined middle and high school in Tsuruga, Japan, offering academic programs for students aged twelve to eighteen. The campus includes contemporary classroom buildings, science laboratories, a library, and sports grounds surrounded by rolling hills and rice paddies.
The institution opened in January 1986 under the Reinan Gakuen Educational Foundation to provide secondary education for students in the Tsuruga region. It expanded the foundation's existing network of schools with a focus on language instruction and extracurricular activities.
The institution takes its name from the nearby Kehi Shrine, a local landmark in Tsuruga with deep roots in the area's history. Students gather to practice karuta, a traditional Japanese card game in which poems are recited and players race to grab matching cards.
The school is located south of downtown Tsuruga and can be reached by bus or bicycle from the train station in about twenty minutes. Visitors should note that the campus is generally not open to the public during school hours.
The baseball team has qualified multiple times for the national tournament at Koshien Stadium, one of the most prestigious competitions for high school athletes in Japan. The team trains year-round on campus grounds, with older students mentoring younger ones in a tradition of mutual support.
