ENGLISH IMMERSION
Osaka Gakugei Canadian International School, the only British Columbia Offshore School in the Kansai region is being established in Osaka Gakugei Senior High School’s International Department. The Ministry of Education of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, accredits and inspects BC Offshore Schools. Classes are taught by university graduates who are BC certified teachers, leading to BC’s Dogwood graduation diploma. Moreover, our students will also be taking classes in Japanese taught by Osaka Gakugei teachers so they can also earn a Japanese high school diploma.
This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of the BC Offshore Schools program in Japan. Join the thousands of other students who have successfully graduated from the British Columbia Academic Program and are now attending universities around the world.
The BC Academic Program ranks first in English speaking countries in key academic areas. Our program offers all the courses leading to a BC high school graduation diploma. The BC Double Diploma Program is taught by BC trained and certified teachers. If attending an international university is your goal, the BC Double Diploma Program is your pathway.
Margaret Compo (BC Offshore School Representative)
Students in the 21st century should be able to recognize differences between individuals and understand the truth in different ways of thinking. It is important to have a sympathetic mind and an urge to pursue knowledge throughout life.
As globalization continues to progress in today’s society, education and career choices will expand not only within Japan but also to institutions and companies abroad. We will provide education in which students will hone their use of English as a communicative tool and use it to express their own thoughts and feelings.
We invite you to open your door to a new world here with us at Osaka Gakugei Senior High School.
Hiroki Morimatsu (Greeting from Osaka Gakugei Senior High School Principal)
