A Great Work Environment : Three Pillars
Kyubun EJHS is located on the southern island of Kyushu in historical Nagasaki Prefecture. Ourcampus is located near the center of Sasebo city and features a newly renovated building andtop-quality modern facilities. We actively recruit dedicated educators from the public and private
school systems, domestically and abroad, who all share the same vision of providing a
top-quality education in a progressive and modern school.

Kyubun EJHS believes that receiving effective and innovative English language instruction from ayoung age is key to building the vocabulary, language knowledge and positive attitudes
necessary to become confident and proficient English language users. As such, elementary
students receive 3-5 English lessons per week starting in the 1st grade or the equivalent of 600+

Information Technology (IT)Information Technologies are playing a larger role in our daily lives, and as such, utilizing IT toboth improve learning and teaching and to develop digital literacy is another cornerstone of ourschool philosophy. Every student and staff have their own Ipad (elementary) or tablet (JHS). Allclassrooms have state-of-the-art displays, and teachers and students have access to many kindsof IT to help foster a rich, productive, interactive learning environment.

Japanese identities.
