As society undergoes profound change, the Kawaijuku Group continues to ask a fundamental question: How can we nurture individuals who take full ownership of their careers and shape their own path? At Dalton Tokyo Junior & Senior High School, established in 2019, we have pursued an education centered on the independent and collaborative mindsets. Education guided by the motto “Go Forth Unafraid” has delivered meaningful outcomes, cultivating students’ leadership and active listening skills.

In April 2027, to further deepen the learning experiences at Dalton Tokyo Junior & Senior High School— driven by students’ own decisions about learning, career and their pursuit of new challenges, we will go beyond boundaries— beyond the designated campus, beyond national borders, and beyond the divide between the school and community. We are founding Dalton X High School as a socially-connected and world-trotting school.

The Future We Aim to Shape

Exploring on Our Own Feet

Our learning extends beyond Japan to the wider world, and beyond campus to diverse local communities.

Students immerse themselves in real-world challenges, such as scuba diving to support coral conservation, or using drones to explore solutions for human–wildlife coexistence. Through these experiences, they identify and try to answer their own questions, and pursue inquiry-driven learning.

By experiencing real-world challenges with all five senses, students connect knowledge with action, test ideas in practice, learn from failure, and carry those insights forward into deeper learning.

Exploring on Our Own Feet

Encountering the Various Types of People

Across regions and national borders, students engage with local people who are tackling community challenges, municipal leaders, experts, researchers, working professionals, and entrepreneurs—encountering cultures and values that challenge their conventional ways of thinking.

Encountering the Various type of people

Co-Creating New Frontiers

By partnering with local communities, students co-create value beyond what any individual could achieve and open up new frontiers.
