We are a fully accredited day school for students aged 3-18, committed to excellence in education. We enroll students from all over the world, creating a friendly and cooperative multi-ethnic student body. We are the only school in the Chugoku region of Japan where children of all ages can obtain an international education in English. HIS will provide an international education that promotes integrity, excellence, cultural sensitivity, and a lifelong commitment to peace and a sustainable planet. HIS will cultivate young people who are prepared for lifelong learning, meeting challenges, and outstanding citizenship anywhere in the world. An exceptionally warm, welcoming, and inclusive community, at HIS every child is accepted as a unique individual with valuable contributions to make. At HIS, children not only participate in the learning process, they see themselves as valuable contributors to that process, essential members of the learning community. This is what inclusivity means at HIS. Classes are not only opportunities for students to make sense of the world in which they live, classroom experiences are journeys of discovery about the way we learn as individuals, developing independence, and ensuring success far beyond school, into college, and the uncertainties of life beyond. Multilingualism is vital to our mission at HIS, where all teachers are language teachers – every class is a language class. Students develop strong literacy skills in both English and Japanese within real-world contexts, exploring both communicative and academic language, coming to understand the power of language and its usage in our societies. In this way, HIS students are ready to confidently face the challenges of the 21st Century, as they help to forge a more peaceful and sustainable future. Hiroshima International School offers an early childhood education program based on the International Baccalaureate (IBO) Primary Years Programme (PYP). The Early Childhood program at HIS centers on developmentally appropriate practices where children actively engage with their environment through centers, projects, and learning experiences with their peers. Students are expected to master certain skills and concepts that are appropriate to their physical, social and emotional, and cognitive development. The Primary School encompasses students from age 5 – 11. The curriculum is framed by the philosophies and goals of the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Program (PYP). The PYP is an inquiry-based, concept-driven curriculum framework for children aged 3-11 years (grades EC – 5) and it combines current research practice from a range of national systems with the wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools. This program, which is broken into six major units of study per year, was developed to meet the needs of internationally mobile students. The middle school curriculum in Grades 6-10 builds upon the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and introduces the academic rigor needed for the examination courses in the high school grades. HIS is currently a candidate school for the IB Middle Years Programme. The MYP is an inquiry-based program for students in grades 6-10. The knowledge, skills, and attitudes acquired in the MYP provide a foundation for students to be successful in the IB Diploma Programme in grades 11-12. Students in Grades 11-12 follow the curriculum of the International Baccalaureate Diploma, which is a university preparation program recognized by the best universities around the world. Students are also entered for SATs and, where necessary, for the TOEFL. Our graduating students have been accepted by universities in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Korea, Estonia, and Canada. In keeping with the school’s mission, the curriculum offered does not align with any particular national system, rather it provides a comprehensive international curriculum that reflects our multinational student body, and thus aims to meet all of our students’ needs. The HIS Holiday Programs are fun and enriching recreational programs conducted within an English language environment. Students participate in a wide variety of collaborative activities designed to enhance communication skills, build confidence and keep students active and engaged. They are great opportunities for your child to have some fun and make some new friends over the holiday period. Friends of HIS is a group of kind donors who support our school. There are two types of donations which are time contributions and monetary contributions. Any monetary donations will be tax-deductible. Pre-admission contact, inquiries and school visit (desirable if possible), Application documentation – see Ent Procedures document, Interview with Principal, and Admission assessments (primarily for placement purposes and assessment of English language skills). The interview is designed to find out from the student what they enjoy about school and what they are expecting at HIS: it is also designed to find out from parents why they wish their child to receive an international education. It is also a final opportunity for a parent or student's questions to be answered. HIS is a selective school and we must ensure that we only admit students whose needs we can meet and who will contribute to our community. The admission assessments have two main purposes such as assessment of the student's previous learning and understanding, if appropriate, and Identification of any learning and/or language support needs the student might have. All assessments are age-appropriate and are designed to be straightforward and non-stressful: we want the students to be able to show what they are capable of. For younger students, the assessments are primarily observational or one-on-one with a teacher, whilst for older students, there will also be short written assessments of numeracy and literacy!

Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing is an affiliate of the Japanese Red Cross Society, an affiliate of the International Red Cross. The International Red Cross was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1864. Henri Dunant's concern for wounded soldiers in battle led to the establishment of the International Red Cross. In 1877, the Hakuaisha, or Philanthropy Society, was founded in Japan by Count Tsunetami Sano, Yuzuru Ogyu, and others. In 1887, Hakuaisha renamed the Japanese Red Cross Society. The educational ideal of the Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing (JRCHCN) is human caring. Human caring cherishes the dignity of human life and wisdom based on 'humanity,' one of the seven principles of the Red Cross. To acquire the ability to practice human caring, our curriculum is structured on four conceptual components—Humanity, Knowledge, Relationships, and Skill. The college's educational philosophy is based on the theory of Human Caring, which is based on human dignity and wisdom. Human Caring means that nurses respect human dignity and heal patients' agony, distress, fear, and anger through the interpersonal process of caring. Nurses also help individuals to reach their highest level of growth, maturity, and health. At the same time, the caring process raises the nurses' level of growth. All human life is equally respected and given high regard and reverence. Thus, the implementation of Human Caring requires understanding individuals' wholeness and uniqueness, not only their biological existence but also their cultural, social, and historical uniqueness. Moreover, Human Caring requires the integration of concepts and theories with wisdom that has been passed on from generation to generation throughout human history. To develop an independent learning environment, we have enhanced our facilities and have created a variety of educational materials and methods. Not only have we created educational materials on Information Communication Technology (ICT), but we have also established the 'Simulation Center' in which students can learn the necessary knowledge and skills of fundamental nursing at a time that suits their schedule. For instance, they can learn the knowledge and skills of health assessment using the "Simulators" (advanced patient care mannequins). Also, based on our research, we have trained several Standardized Patients (SP) to enable our students better to practice the methods of caring communication, caring skills, and the construction of relationships with patients. As a means of primary education for clinical training, we have introduced 'Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)' into our curriculum, allowing students to experience more realistic clinical settings at college than would be possible through conventional methods. Our college also obtained a MEXT' Program for Promoting University Education' (Theme A) subsidy from 2009 to 2011 to promote training for international disaster relief nurses. Our research resulted in the 2012 introduction of the elective 'Preparatory Course for International Relief Nursing.' This course aims to develop the fundamental abilities of nursing professionals who can play an essential role in domestic and international disaster relief and development cooperation. In this way, we provide an educational environment in which students can learn the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to participate in a broad range of nursing activities in every situation. Our college is located on a hillside in Hatsukaichi City, from which we can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful islands of the Seto Inland Sea. These include Miyajima, on which is located Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage registered site. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with international partners and look forward to exploring and developing nursing education at both local and global levels. View full university

HUE was established in 1967. It was the only economics university in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions at that time. Based on the philosophy of "working together in harmony," since its inception, HUE has striven to foster pioneers for a new era, aspiring to be a university centered on its students under the motto "Be student-oriented." In this spirit, HUE endeavors to strengthen and enrich its educational programs and provide a campus environment that answers each student's desires and expectations. Even after graduation, HUE's program aims to contribute human resources to every area of society by developing the Koudoujin: People of involvement and action. Now, as we carefully pursue an understanding of the caliber of people sought after in society, we foster our koudoujin, people of involvement, and action. Our koudoujin are people who think outside the box with fresh ideas, are eager to take on new challenges, and cooperate with colleagues for their joint achievement. At HUE, we offer a forward-thinking education and have created programs that develop the students' Knowledge, Personal Skills, and Communication Skills. In addition to this, we provide state-of-the-art facilities to ensure that our students can realize personal improvement through our programs and become graduates with the skills to contribute to our society, the regional economy, culture, and sports. These facilities include the library, where students can deepen their knowledge, the Koudoukan where personal skills are polished through practical experience, and our new facility, the Academic Commons (Meitokukan) completed in December 2016, where students can study independently and improve their creativity and their ability to express themselves... This is a place where students gather, a space for intellectual creation, with an open environment where they can freely talk to each other and form their ideas. We wish for our students to gain unwavering abilities by studying with friends and encountering friendly competition to survive unflinchingly in modern society. This wish is expressed in the words of our university's guiding principle: 'Be Student-orientated.' All of our faculty and staff work together to support our students. Create your future here at the Hiroshima University of Economics, and we will do everything we can to support you as you learn. We do not just focus our education on our students' limited time from matriculation to gaining employment. We look ahead to a bright future. We foster graduates who think outside the box, with fresh ideas, who are eager to take on new challenges, and can cooperate with colleagues for their joint achievement: our so-called koudoujin*, people of involvement and action, who can 'create something from nothing.' At the Hiroshima University of Economics, providing our students with the knowledge necessary to head out into the world, fostering personal skills, and making sure they can express themselves are the core elements of our challenging and unique education program, which allows our practical approach to encourage our koudoujin. Many koudoujin have left the nest and taken up active roles in the broader world over the years. Our Basic Knowledge Development Program provides the basic knowledge necessary for our graduates to flourish in modern society by studying a wide range of subjects, including English and Japanese. We also actively support our students in obtaining qualifications such as those for bookkeeping or teaching, which will become trump cards in fashioning their futures one day. Our students are free to choose courses relevant to their goals and career paths, so each individual can select the courses they wish to study. By taking standard courses, department-specific courses, skill development courses, career courses, teacher training courses, and even courses from other departments, our students can enrich their education and study both widely and deeply. Our aim since our inception has been to foster graduates who can contribute to the development of our society, and this Personal Skills Development Program has become symbolic of the education offered here at the Hiroshima University of Economics. The Kodokan Education Program consists of 2 parts: the Koudoukan Course for acquiring knowledge and skills through practice, and the Koudoukan Project, for personal growth through action. The interaction between these two approaches allows for a depth of knowledge and develops personal skills that actively enable graduates to participate in the real world. View full university

Every person has their nature, their talents. We each follow a path to learn, to develop these gifts. To do this well, we need tools, skills, and knowledge. Hiroshima Shudo University (HSU) aims to equip learners for their lifelong journey. Currently, HSU has over 150 international students from all over the world. They are studying hard to learn Japanese and Japanese culture and studying in their respective faculties. At the same time, students can enjoy annual events such as the one-day bus trip and the International forum. Why don't you come and live and study in Hiroshima, known as the International City of Peace & Culture? You will undoubtedly have an invaluable, unforgettable experience! Humankind does not forget Hiroshima and never should. In 1945, a single atomic bomb wiped out a significant number of citizens' lives in an instant. It is said that, at that time, 300,000 people lived in the center of the city, and most buildings were destroyed. The whole city changed to gray. Hiroshima Prefectural Industry Promotion Hall only barely escaped from full destruction and is now known worldwide as the "Atomic Bomb Dome." It has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After the atomic bombing, it was said that "plants would not grow in the area for over 75 years", but Hiroshima has successfully recovered and developed into a prosperous city with a population of over one million residents. Hiroshima is now an international city of peace, surrounded by abundant greenery. Hiroshima is now known as a city where an atomic bomb was dropped and as a place of natural beauty, with an agreeable and warm climate. In summer, people can enjoy marine sports around the beaches, and in winter, people can ski and snowboard in the mountains. In Hiroshima, we have very popular professional baseball and football teams, which have won league championships over the past few years. Culturally, there is a highly-successful professional symphony orchestra, and the pop group "Perfume," known and loved throughout the country, developed their singing and dancing in the city. Hiroshima is related to the famous battle fighters in Japanese history, Kiyomori Taira in the 1100s and Motonari Moore in the 1500s. Besides, the world-renowned Japanese motor manufacturing company "Mazda" has its headquarters located in Hiroshima. In such prosperous surroundings, Hiroshima Shudo University is enjoying a favorable reputation as the largest university located in Hiroshima. A rich natural environment surrounds Hiroshima Shudo University's campus. It only takes 30 minutes to reach the campus via public transportation from downtown Hiroshima, where the Atomic Bomb Dome is located. Hiroshima Shudo University welcomes highly motivated students from all over the world who wish to live and study in Hiroshima. Three Educational Policies of Hiroshima Shudo University: Operated by Shudo Gakuen, an educational corporation that originated from the Hiroshima Domain's clan school, Hiroshima Shudo University (HSU) upholds, as its ideal, "fostering individuals who can contribute to the development of the local community," in line with its founding spirit of "Cultivating the Way." The word "study" used in our school name has its origin in a passage in the Chinese classic The Doctrine of the Mean that reads, "Cultivating the Way is called education." Based on the understanding that "cultivate" in this context means "straighten" and "cultivating the way" means "straightening the way for learning," we define our educational capabilities as the "capabilities for cultivating the way for learning." Given the ongoing trend in Japan marked by globalization and a declining population, HSU sets its educational goal "fostering individuals who can contribute to the development of the local community from a global perspective," and seeks to achieve this goal in cooperation with the local community.

Hiroshima Kokusai Gakuin University offers student-centered, sensitive, and thorough Education based on our university's founding spirit, 'Education is love' and the educational concept of 'Gentleness, honesty, co-operation, and teamwork.' Our university focuses on contributing to local communities and aims to cultivate students' talent, who mainly find employment with local companies, and are employed as officers and teachers locally, after going through our educational program. A unique feature of our university is that students can study a wide range of subjects and satisfy many intellectual curiosities by undertaking courses, combinations of subjects drawn from the faculties of arts and sciences. This approach corresponds well with the recently emerging issues of globalization, information society, and an aging society. We respect gentleness, honesty, co-operation, and teamwork among our students in an educational system that we call 'Integral Education involving Study with the Whole Body.' Also, customized teaching arrangements for building various capacities and for obtaining licenses are provided. Another unique characteristic of this university life is that every student can enjoy a 'Bright and Fun-filled Joyous College Life.' Toradora Tsuru, the founder of our institute. What drove the founder to dedicate himself to Education appears to have been his profound caring and willingness to give everything he owned to the youth deprived of educational opportunities due to economic, physical, and various other reasons. It was this characteristic that helped his students. He made every effort for those who were poverty-stricken and never gave up on the young who gave in to temptation. The founder's statue was erected in 1965 and had an inscription that reads "Education is Love." Those who carried on the founder's wishes later described the essence of his educational spirit in this message. The founder never publicly announced "Education is Love," but yet, he was the one who put "Education is Love" into practice. Our university's founding spirit, "Education is Love," was therefore created by the founder's educational practice, "Love can never exist without practicing it." This is a message with deep significance. Our institute's mission is to carry on the founder's spirit, faithfully. View full university

Hiroshima Jogakuin University (HJU) was founded in 1886 by Rev. T. Sunamoto in cooperation with Dr. W.R. Lambuth from the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. Under the leadership of Miss Nannie Gaines, HJU started as a school for women’s education. Since the 130th Anniversary, we have strived to advance our efforts, creating innovative women’s education, and respond to global and local issues in today’s ever-changing world. What better environment for women than an all-female institution, one which can nurture such confidence and leadership. At HJU, we define the word ‘career’ as a paid job and other undertakings such as unpaid or volunteer work, charity endeavors, household management, and even life after retirement. At HJU, we believe that everyone has a mission in life, whether it be a career or personally driven. Thus, to support HJU women, we will undertake The Empowerment Project as a 130th-anniversary enterprise. The purpose is to provide our students with opportunities to prepare for their future careers and become leaders in their community. We invite you to our campus. This is an environment where you are welcome to spend your precious school life. A place where you may fulfill your PASSION for learning. Where you may find your VISION for your future achievements, and identify your goals so you may realize your lifelong MISSION. The aim of Hiroshima Jogakuin, from its very beginning, has been the intellectual and religious culture of young women under the principles of Christianity. On that basis, HJU encourages students to strive for the mastery of academic knowledge and skills for their careers and nurture themselves to serve others. Since we live in a society where everything is becoming more complex than ever, we naturally need people as human resources who can accept different ways of thinking. They need a well-balanced and rich education, as well as specialized knowledge in their field of study. HJU offers a liberal arts education that encourages women to be themselves and has more options throughout their lives. Students learn about global issues and the importance of taking action. As an educational institution located in the A-bombed city, Hiroshima, HJU has emphasized peace education. With this background, the peace-minded HJU graduates have gone forward to careers in various fields in Japan and countries worldwide. View full university

It has already been 18 years since Hiroshima International University (HIU) was founded in 1998. The university currently has eight faculties and ten departments, offering ten undergraduate majors, 11 post-graduate majors in 5 graduate schools, and one 1-year course on three campuses－Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima, and Kure. Japan is now faced with a rapidly aging society. It is predicted that the need for advanced medical and nursing care will increase, and "team medical care" will be essential in responding to this demand. Various staff in diverse fields must work together in an atmosphere of understanding and mutual respect to solve the team's problems. Simultaneously, local comprehensive care systems are necessary for developing ongoing home-medical care and home nursing care. Establishing such systems will require medical care professionals, nursing care workers, and other specialists and the cooperation of local communities and industries as well as the elderly and their families. To meet the demands of communities, HIU has worked to develop professional human resources to play active parts in the field of health, medical services, and welfare. Recognizing the ever-increasing necessity of collaboration among professionals, the university has stressed its educational approach to the idea of "team medical care," an approach in which students from different faculties learn from and gain professional respect for one another. We believe that we must help people in the community develop a deeper understanding of self-health care, home care, self-help, and mutual aid. To this end, HIU will work to establish in its educational and research activities the principles of "compassion," "investigative spirit," and "cooperation." HIU has already produced more than 10,000 professionals working in health, medical services, and welfare. We choose the theme every year and organize various events through which health-related information and various opportunities are provided to local people, including health monitoring, consultation booth, and displays. We help the children discover the joy and toughness of working and grow their interest in the future and nurture a rich spirit. Every year, the music festival is held for local people in Higashi Hiroshima Campus. Concerts by famous artists are held, and our university's extracurricular activity groups, local band, and chorus groups by primary, secondary, and high school students play as well. We aim at revitalizing the local community with the power of music. FM Higashi Hiroshima broadcasts a weekly live radio program, all produced by the students, including planning, interview, personality, etc. The program discovers and introduces the charms of Higashi Hiroshima. The volunteer center gathers the information of volunteer activities inside and outside of campus and provides them to the students. Also, it provides various supports such as lectures and advice to the students who participate in the volunteer activities for the first time. Psychological Clinic Center accepts many visitors as counseling services open to the local community. It sets up various facilities and equipment to provide support to visitors of various ages who feel distressed. Located on the 3rd floor of the Mainichi Intesio in Umeda, Osaka, one of the best locations in the nation for access to businesses, our new hub at the Osaka center is built on our management principle of 'four groups working together' (students, parents, graduates, and educators). It supplies three functions - member of social learning for graduates, parents, and public members, employment support for current students and graduates, and to serve as an exchange place for people from our group, along with industry and local community people to gather and communicate.
