The outline of Toyohashi Minami Senior High School

Toyohashi Minami Senior High School was founded in 1972. We have graduated over 17,000 students in
our forty-nine-year history. Our school is in the southern part of Toyohashi City in Aichi Prefecture. Theschool now has approximately 840 students and 90 faculty members as of April 2020. We have 2 different
courses for each grade, General Studies course and Home Economics course. In General Studies course, wehave one special class where students especially major in education. We call it EDU class. Almost all thestudents continue to their further studies at universities or other higher education institutions.

The school is currently collaborating with local elementary and junior high schools, special needs schools,
Aichi University of Education, etc. with “education”, “community activities”, “volunteer activities” and soon. We also perform an international exchange positively. Utilizing the UNESCO School Network, wewould like to incorporate ESD educational activities into the teaching plan focusing on the Period forIntegrated Studies and further develop interaction with each school, not only schools in Japan, but alsoschools outside of Japan. In addition, we aim to create a system that allows us to continue ESD activities atelementary and junior high schools in Toyohashi city.
