GENERAL FACTS

 

Asahikawa Fuji Girls' High School (Fuji HS) was established in 1953 as a Catholic mission school by Sister Xavera Rehme of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Francis, based in Thuine, Hanover, Germany. The school's motto is: Faith, Humility, and Purity.

A private senior high school, Fuji has at present (Aug. 2015) 257 students, with a full-time teaching staff of 29 teachers. The school is affiliated with high schools in Sapporo and Kitami, and with Fuji Women's College in Sapporo.

 

STUDY COURSES

Before entering Fuji, students choose one of three study courses: the Universal Learning (UL) Course, the College Preparatory Course, or the General Course.

 

The Universal Learning Course

The UL Course was established in 2000, and is in its 16th year. The class which started in April 2015 consists of 29 students, the 2014 class has 19 students. The course is designed for students who want to enter national or private universities to study liberal arts, or study abroad after graduation. The curriculum includes: Japanese / English & EFL / math / science / geography / world and Japanese history / home economics / P. E. / fine arts / religion / volunteer activities. (The EFL classes during Year 1 specifically aim to prepare UL Course students for studying in an English language environment)

 

In their first year at Fuji HS, all UL Course students go overseas from January to April, a period of 11 weeks, to study at a pre-selected NZ high school. Fuji HS has connections with 13 high schools in or near Christchurch, such as Villa Maria College, Papanui High School, and Rangiora High School.

 

These schools have been chosen as partner schools for three important reasons:

- All schools have excellent International Student Programs. All programs are government-approved, and include students from various countries, e.g., China, Brazil, Korea, and Indonesia

- All schools take great care to ensure the welfare of their international students inside as well as outside school. This includes finding suitable homestays with local families for all students

- All schools have a good reputation in the local community.
