1. Admission policy and ideal candidate. Hiroshima Global Academy (HiGA) opened in 2019 with a mission to foster leaders who create a better future for peace and sustainable development, connected through the power of learning. The curriculum is based on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), with a focus on inquiry-based learning and the development of five competencies: deep understanding, creative and critical thinking, collaboration across cultures, confidence to pursue targets, and bilingual communication in English and Japanese. English and Japanese are the languages of instruction, and HiGA emphasizes English-language learning pathways and the ability to study all classes in English if desired.
Hiroshima Global Academy (HiGA) is a public boarding junior and senior high school in Osakikamijima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea, about 1.5 hours from Hiroshima. The school offers the International Baccalaureate: the Middle Years Programme (Grades 7–10) and the Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12). HiGA supports learning in both English and Japanese, and notes that some DP subjects can be studied in either language depending on a student’s ability; it also provides individualized Japanese language courses. Student life includes dormitory living across grades and nationalities. After-school, students can join A4LC clubs such as science, sports, instrumental ensemble (big band jazz), and an art-and-technology group; a student A4LC team has competed in FIRST LEGO League and qualified for a national competition.
