Koishikawa Secondary Education School, Secondary education school in Bunkyo, Japan
Koishikawa is a secondary education school in central Tokyo that combines junior and senior high school in a six-year program for students aged 12 to 18. The campus integrates academic classrooms with facilities for science education and international programs.
The school was founded in 1918, and its first principal Ito Choshichi established advanced science programs using resources from the Riken Institute. This founding period shaped the scientific focus that the school maintains today.
The school promotes global perspectives through English language programs and exchanges with students from abroad. These international connections are visible in how the daily school life is organized.
The school is easily accessible by public transport, about a 3-minute walk from Sengoku Station on the Toei Mita Line or roughly 10 minutes from Sugamo Station. Visitors should use these entry points when heading to the campus.
Principal Ito started an experiment where students released paper carp filled with balloons during the Dragon Boat Festival, intended to reach America. However, the carp landed in Saitama Prefecture instead of crossing the ocean as planned.
