Origin of the School Emblem
School Emblem○ We want students to cherish their identity as a Japanese citizen.
The words "K AISEI" and "SEK AI" are contained within the emblem.
○ While cherishing their identity as Japanese citizens,
we want students to also spread their wings to the world".
Design/Hiroji Sasaki, Japanese painter and 6th graduate of Hokkaido Sapporo Kaisei High School

Origin of the school name "Kaisei○ The name "Kai-butsu Seimu" is derived from a passage in the I Ching, one of the "Four Books and Five Classics," a Confucian scripture.
○ It means "to spare no eﬀort to pave the way (kaibutsu) and to work hard (seimu) until one's duty is fulﬁlled (seimu).
○ The goal of the program is to nurture people who will open and develop their talents and build a new society.

Inquiry-based learning in our school is centered on "independent, interactive, and deep learning" based oncollaboration. In this style learning, students discover principles and laws through group discussions, and arrive at
new ideas by relating and reﬁning their knowledge. In addition to acquiring knowledge and skills in class, emphasis isalso placed on putting them to use through presentations and discussions. The IB learning cycle, in which "inquiry-action -reﬂection" is an interactive process, is conducted over a series of lessons, and it is important for students tolearn how to learn over the six years in order to become independent learners.

What is an independent learner?
・Someone with the ability to discover issues on your own and continue to learn
throughout your life!
・Someone who is self-aﬃrming and open to diverse values!
・Someone with the courage to challenge the unknown, and to explore oneʼ s own path!
