Super Global High School
　In 2014, the Japanese government started the “Super Global High School” program aiming to nurture “Super Global” leaders. More than 250 schools applied for this project, and 56 were selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. These schools are expected to nurture the students’ communication and problem-solving skills as they tackle global humanitarian issues. Asahigaoka is one of the selected schools, and has started new projects.
