霞浦高等學校, Mittelschule in Japan
Kasaura High School is a combined junior and senior high school in Ami, Japan. It takes students through both middle school and upper secondary years within a single campus, offering a continuous path of secondary education.
The school was founded to offer a continuous secondary education within a single facility, bringing together what are often two separate institutions in Japan. This integrated model has shaped how students experience their school years there ever since.
The school sits in Ami and can be reached by public transport from the town center. As it is an active school, visitors are generally only welcome during open days or specific events.
Combined junior and senior high schools are relatively rare in Japan, where most students change schools between the two levels. Staying in the same place for six years gives students a longer sense of continuity than is common in the Japanese school system.
