ドルトン東京学園中等部・高等部, Private secondary school in Chofu, Japan.
Dalton Tokyo School is a combined junior and senior high school with modern facilities located in a residential area of western Tokyo. The campus features learning spaces designed to support independent study, and class sizes remain intentionally small throughout all grades.
The school operates under the Dalton Plan, an educational system developed in the early 1920s by Helen Parkhurst to foster student independence. This pedagogical approach later influenced schools globally seeking alternative teaching methods.
The school embodies a student-centered approach where learners choose their own research directions and work collaboratively. This philosophy shapes how students interact with their studies and classmates daily.
The campus is located near Sengawa Station and offers convenient access to public transportation. The small student body of fewer than 400 learners across all grades ensures more personalized learning environments and individual support.
Rather than traditional tests, students select their own research topics and progress at their own pace through the material. This approach allows learners to explore subjects in depth based on genuine interests.
