加茂學園, Integrated elementary and junior high school in Ichihara, Japan.
Kamo Gakuen is an integrated elementary and junior high school in Ichihara spanning nine grade levels with around 200 students learning in modern classrooms, a library, and various facilities. The campus layout supports diverse educational activities and provides space for both indoor and outdoor learning.
The school was established in 2013 as the second integrated elementary and junior high institution in Chiba Prefecture, following a school in nearby Kamogawa. Its founding marked a shift toward combined educational models in the region.
The name reflects the local Kamo area, and the school integrates farming into its educational mission through partnerships with nearby farmers. Walking through the campus, you can see how rice cultivation connects students to the land and community around them.
The campus sits in a walkable area about 5 minutes on foot from Satomi Station, making it easy for visitors and students to arrive by train. By car, the location is accessible in roughly 10 minutes from the nearest highway exit.
Students engage in rice farming with local farmers, a hands-on program recognized by the Agriculture Ministry as a model for school-community partnership. This work demonstrates how the school connects learning directly to the farming traditions of the surrounding area.
