Osaka Kasugaoka High School, Public high school in Ibaraki, Japan
Osaka Kasugaoka High School is a public school in Ibaraki with a distinctive design feature in its central courtyard. An extensive wisteria trellis covers much of this space, creating shade and a pleasant outdoor environment where students spend time between classes.
The school was founded in 1911 as a girls' school and went through several name changes before becoming its current institution in 1948. These transformations reflect shifts in Japanese education after World War II.
The school is guided by three core values: independence, autonomy, and freedom that shape how students learn and interact daily. These principles influence the choices students make and how they engage with their education.
The school is located in northern Osaka Prefecture with good public transportation connections by bus and train. Since this is an active school campus, visits from outside visitors may be limited or require prior permission.
Since 1974, students at this school have attended classes without wearing uniforms, breaking from typical Japanese school customs. This policy allows for personal expression and sets the institution apart from most schools in the country.
