Waseda Shibuya Senior High School

The school provides a Japanese education overseas by following the national framework and the guidelines of the Japanese Ministry of Education. It emphasizes lessons learned from living abroad and the importance of recognizing each student's individuality. Students are taught in small groups for each subject based on proficiency, and from the second year they follow one of two pathways: Science and Mathematics Course or Liberal Arts Course, with elective classes available. English language development is strengthened through Waseda University's Tutorial English integrated into English Communication classes; the syllabus is distributed at the start of the academic year, and there are five regular exam periods and three proficiency tests.

The arts curriculum includes Art Music I, Art and Design I, and Calligraphy I. The facilities include a library, PC room, science room, music room, fine art room, cooking room, and a tatami room (Japanese room), plus a student committee room, clinic, and canteen. Additional facilities include a gymnasium, a dedicated Judo and Kendo room, an athletic field, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a jogging course.

English language courses include English Communication I–III and English Conversation, supporting language development within a global context. The International Education program aims to deepen cross-cultural knowledge through approximately 25 activities per year and four programs: local school experiences and hosting/exchanges, intercultural community experiences, the IPPO program, and Singapore society experiences. Past partner schools and programs include River Valley High School, Yishun Innova Junior College, Eunoia Junior College, Dunman High School, MOELC, Kent Ridge Secondary School, New Town Secondary School, NUS, NTU, SIM, and Temasek Polytechnic.

School life centers on a calendar of events, including a June Sports Festival and a September Seiran-sai festival. Second-year students undertake a 5-night, 6-day excursion to Australia, and first-year students participate in a 1-night, 2-day dormitory program in Malaysia. Fridays are used for IPPO-related activities and other exchanges during the 6th–7th periods. The school also operates a dormitory system with cultural and social activities integrated into daily life.

The international education program is designed to help students know Singapore, rediscover their culture, and engage in international experiences that contribute to local society. Programs include local school experiences, intercultural community experiences, IPPO, and Singapore society experiences to foster global-minded engagement and community involvement.

Career Education is available, with pathways for internal recommendations to Waseda University and partnerships with overseas universities. The school provides guidance on university progression and employment, supported by its network of partner institutions and international collaborations.

Most students live in dormitories supervised by Japanese house parents, with rules largely student-centered and administered by a Student Dormitory Council. Meals are provided three times daily in the dining hall, with Japanese cuisine as the default and other cuisines available. Each dormitory student has a tutor who meets regularly with the student, and tutors report to parents monthly. The dormitories house 219 single-occupancy rooms (124 for boys, 95 for girls) with on-site amenities, and common spaces such as lounges are available for student use. The infirmary offers first aid, rest for the ill, periodic health checkups, measurements (BMI, vision, blood pressure), and health education, with a dedicated nurse and defined operating hours (8:30–17:00, Monday–Friday). Regular health screenings include measurements, vision tests, ECG for new first-year students, body measurements, hearing tests, dental checks, and health consultations; tutoring support and emotional well-being monitoring are provided through assigned tutors.
