SCHOOL MISS ION
The school’s mission is based
on the Ritsumeikan Charter.
The Ritsumeikan Charter
emphasizes freedom and
innovation to create an
academic institution which
nurtures just and ethical global
citizens. The school is
committed to inquiry and
strives to regognize and
cultivate the unique talents and
potential of each and every
student.
H I S T O R Y A N D A C C R E D I D A T I O N Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School was established in 1995 (and a junior high was added in 2003). It is an affiliated school of Ritsumeikan University and the Ritsumeikan Academy governed by The Ritsumeikan Trust. The school is an Article 1 school accredited by the Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education in compliance with the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In 2009, Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School became authorized as an International Baccalaureate World School to offer the IB Diploma Programme, and has since graduated eight cohorts of IB Diploma students.

THE IB COURSE The IB Course at Ritsumeikan Uji is selective and is the most academically rigorous course offered. The program celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2018.
The IB Course spans the three high school years, and consists of classes taught entirely in English by native English‐speaking teachers. In the second and third years, students follow the curricular requirements of the IBDP. The first year is a prepatory period focused on the skills necessary for success in the IBDP, as well as fulfilling Japanese high school requirements.
Predicted IB results are available in October, and students sit IBDP exams in November of their senior year. The vast majority, 99%, of students are full diploma candidates.
IB STUDENTS Ritsumeikan Uji’s IB cohort sizes vary, averaging 24 students per cohort over the last five years, with a student to teacher ratio of approximately 4 to 1.
The vast majority of students have Japanese ethnicity; other students are from a range of countries including: China, Indonesia, Korea, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, America, Canada, and Australia.
IB students are highly active with CAS, MUN, and internships and pursue a vibrant set of extracurriculars.
IB Course students also earn a Japanese high school graduation certificate, making this a dual degree program.
