SIJ is a fully immersive, all-English summer school, from opening day to the final day presentation stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the opening ceremony, following a speech by Representative Director Mari Hirotsu, we were honored to hear from our distinguished guests, including leaders from local government, presidents of internationally recognized universities, and members of the SIJ Board, sharing their vision for the future of young people and global education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants joined from so many countries,
plus cities across Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New friends. New perspectives.
Age and nationality dissolve here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
