Waseda Shibuya Senior High School in Singapore, Singaporean high school attached to Waseda Univ.
Waseda Shibuya Senior High School is a Japanese school in the southwest of Singapore with modern buildings and well-organized spaces. The campus includes spacious classrooms, an observatory, sports facilities, and dormitories for students coming from outside the area.
Founded in 1991, the school was one of the earliest Japanese high schools established outside Japan to support families of Japanese workers abroad. Since 2002, it has been officially connected to Waseda University in Tokyo, opening a pathway for students to continue their higher education there.
The school reflects a blend of Japanese educational traditions and Singapore's multicultural setting. It creates a space where students maintain their Japanese language skills while learning about the local culture and way of life.
The school is open during school days from early morning to late afternoon, and visitors should check in at the entrance and follow school guidelines. About half of the students live in spacious dormitories on campus, while others commute from home.
The school operates an observatory used for astronomy education and exchanges with local Singapore schools. It also hosts an annual school festival in September featuring performances, activities, and food stalls, where visitors from the community are often invited.
