Salesio School is a combined elementary and junior high school on a spacious campus in Kodaira with dedicated teaching buildings and sports facilities. The school grounds are organized to serve students across all nine grades in separate but integrated learning environments.
Founded in 1946 during Japan's post-war reconstruction, the school emerged from the Salesio movement's commitment to providing education to all children. Its establishment reflected the educational reform priorities of that era.
The school blends Catholic educational values with Japanese teaching standards, creating spaces where students of different ages interact during shared events and activities. This integration shapes how the school community comes together throughout the year.
The campus is clearly organized with separate areas for different grade levels and shared facilities for physical education and gatherings. Most visitors will find the layout easy to navigate with distinct zones for younger and older students.
The school operates on a nine-year integrated curriculum where students remain on the same campus from elementary through junior high without changing schools. This continuity allows teaching methods to build consistently on earlier learning without disruption.
