Establishment of 'N High School Group International Club' – Launching an International Community to Connect Students Interested in the World and Open Doors to Global Opportunities

Kadokawa Dwango Academy N High School, S High School, R High School (hereinafter referred to as the N High School Group) and N Junior Division are launching the online club 'N High School Group International Club.'

In recent years, 'international education' has evolved beyond language acquisition to include cultivating multifaceted inquiry and collaboration skills necessary for global engagement—such as addressing global social issues and understanding diverse cultures. However, accessing globally competitive international education often requires participation in expensive programs or enrollment in specialized institutions abroad, creating significant economic and geographical barriers.

Leveraging its extensive experience in inquiry-based learning programs, support for overseas university admissions and study abroad, and location-independent communication using ICT tools, the N High School Group is establishing the 'International Club' as an accessible community for any student interested in global engagement.

Membership in the International Club is open to all students enrolled in the N High School Group or N Junior Division, regardless of language proficiency (though specific programs may have capacity limits or selection processes). The club will host over 50 programs annually in collaboration with international organizations, educational institutions, companies, cities, and regions worldwide, offering diverse opportunities for global interaction and learning. Through club activities, students interested in languages, cultures, lifestyles, and global issues can connect and interact regularly.
