Message from The Principal

On behalf of Kanazawa University Senior High School (KUSH), I would like to express deepest appreciation for visiting our web-site on Super Global High School (SGH) Program.
The SGH program is selected and funded by Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture (MEXT) Japan for five years to educate future global leaders. Historically, KUSH was established as the first gifted and talented senior governmental high school in science. KUSH SGH program aims at “Promoting Global Leaders to change the World through Innovation from HOKURIKU". The program consists of four Inquiry Project Activities with concentric circle: Global Area Studies; Intercultural Studies; Global Proposals; Global Career Paths.
