橫濱創學館高等學校, Japanese high school in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, Japan.
橫濱創學館高等學校 is a high school located in Kanazawa-ku, a residential ward in the southern part of Yokohama. The campus includes classroom blocks, indoor sports facilities and areas where students gather between lessons.
The school opened in 1958 during the postwar years when Japan was rebuilding its education system along modern lines. It served families moving into Kanazawa-ku as Yokohama expanded southward along the bay.
Students participate in traditional Japanese cultural activities throughout the academic year while following the national educational curriculum standards.
The school sits in a quiet part of Kanazawa-ku and can be reached by bus or on foot from several train stations. The grounds are generally not open to visitors during the day since it operates as an active learning facility.
The name 創學館 (Sōgakukan) translates literally as Palace of Learning Creation, chosen to express an ideal of inventing new ways to study. Many students cycle to class from neighborhoods within a few kilometers of the gate.
