Mita High School’s Educational Goals

Mita High School was designated as a UNESCO School in 1957 and was the first public high school in Tokyo to accept returning overseas students in 1977. The school’s educational objectives align closely with the goals of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The school conducts a wide range of educational activities aimed at nurturing individuals who contribute to global citizenship, multicultural coexistence, human rights, and peace.

Mita High School’s Educational Objectives

Under the cultivation of a well-rounded personality, we aim to nurture individuals who can actively participate in and contribute to solving societal challenges in an increasingly knowledge-based society and a globally interconnected world. The objectives are as follows:

A: A cultured individual with broad and flexible intelligence and a rich sensitivity.
B: A leader with the high qualities of autonomy, creativity, patience, and cooperation.
C: A pioneer who, with self-discipline and a spirit of initiative, can contribute to society.
As part of our efforts to nurture global leaders, we focus on the following educational activities:

International exchange
Support for poverty and refugees
Various lectures
Visits to specialized institutions
To ensure these activities are student-led, the school has established the UNESCO Committee and the International Understanding Committee within the student council.
