Meikei Gakuen is a combined junior and senior high school in Tsukuba offering uninterrupted education from grades seven through twelve. The school is organized into five classes per grade level, allowing students to progress through all six grades on the same campus.
The school was founded in 1979 during the development of Tsukuba Science City, which was being built as a hub for research institutions. It emerged to serve the educational needs of this growing community of researchers and their families.
The school works closely with Tsukuba University, hosting trainee teachers and researchers who study teaching methods in real classrooms. This connection shapes daily school life through ongoing educational experiments and collaborative projects.
The school welcomes visitors for special events and observation programs during the academic year. It is best to contact the school beforehand to arrange access and discuss what activities or classes you hope to observe.
Each autumn the school opens its classrooms to hundreds of outside observers who come to study teaching methods in action. This annual teaching observation event has made the school known beyond Japan's borders.
