12/20(Sat) Ikubunkan Global High School(IGHS) will host the “2025 Collaborative Seminars & Independent Inquiry Results Symposium”
Ikubunkan Global High School (IGHS) , whose vision is “Choosing your future from a world map,” will hold this annual symposium which is the capstone of Grade 10 students’ project- and inquiry-based learning.
Students present outcomes from Collaborative Seminars and individual inquiry projects, look back on one year of learning, and receive feedback from external experts and university representatives so they can refine future themes and connect learning to real-world issues.
■IGHS’s Collaborative Seminars
Collaborative Seminars are an original three-year, inquiry-driven program co-created with external organizations across eight fields — International Cooperation, STEAM, Business, Human Sciences, Ecology, Urban Development, Agriculture, and Media Art. Students start research and consolidation in Grade 10, do applied or field research through study abroad or training in Grade 11, and in Grade 12 produce final, thesis-level outputs. Independent inquiry with external academicians is another educational pillar, encouraging every student to build a personal “Story” and to choose higher education and careers “From a World Map.”
