Research Details
The SGH Program prepares students to be global citizens by having them conduct investigative and evaluative research. The focus will be on understanding current global issues, exploring new challenges, analyzing diversity, taking assertive action and developing the ability to think critically.
- (1)Foundation - Investigation, Analysis, Discussion, Imaginative Scope
Understanding different cultures and fostering open-mindedness.
Our school’s teachers as well as guest lecturers, e.g., teachers invited from schools like Hokkaido University, will take part in cooperative fieldwork with participating institutions to conduct a deep study on cross-cultural society.
Valuable experience gained through such domestic and overseas training will additionally enhance one’s sensitivity to be more culturally concerned. - (2)Application - Problem-Solving, Diversity, Implementation
Personal Research
Students will decide on a topic of interest and take on an individual research theme.
Example: “Food”, “Tourism”, “Territory”, “Post-war”
Concerning ourselves with topics that are familiar to Hokkaido, we are able to engage in a cultural discourse, think from a global perspective about the challenges at hand and finally find resolutions to these problems..
Group Research
A central research theme will be decided within the group, analyzed and discussed through exchange of opinions.
International Fieldwork
Collaborative research and discourse with participating institutions. - (3)Development - Reporting, Negotiation, English Communication
Students will formulate their own thesis and depending on their language skill level will choose to report on it in English or Japanese.

Participants will take part in various competitions both from within their school and off-campus.
A graduation thesis will be composed as well. - (4)Evaluation - Performance Assessment
