比嘉 海惺（尚学チャレンジャーコース中学1年）
僕は大阪から入学しました。なぜ沖縄尚学に入学したかというと、小さい頃から空手をやっていて、沖縄尚学には空手の授業があると聞き、勉強と空手を両立できると考えました。今後は、文武両道を目指し、黒帯を取れるように頑張ります。

At Okinawa Shogaku, our students develop the necessary academic and English communication skills needed to pass university entrance exams as a high school senior. All of our students engage in cross-cultural exchange, learn Okinawan karate, and engage in volunteer work.

Programs and Courses
Junior high school students elect either the Shogaku Pioneer Course or the Challenge Course. Both courses offer Advanced English classes. The course system offers junior high school students with the appropraite education to prepare for their university of choice. Incoming high school freshmen will start with five foundational courses, and will elect a specialized course in the second year based on the student's university of choice, such as STEM or liberal arts.
Cross-Cultural Exchange Programs
All Okinawa Shogaku students participate in cross-cultural exchange programs. We utilize programs that engage entire grades and/or classes, as well as publicly funded exchange programs. We actively seek out opportunities for cultural exchange and each year, many of our students enter internships abroad and domestic foreign-language programs.
A Rich Dorm Life
Students are widely accepted from Okinawa's main island, other islands and islets, and from remote areas including Northern Okinawa. The school coordinates with the dormitories to provide students with lifestyle guidance for structured dorm life. There are four dormitories: the Shogaku Global Hall, Shogaku-sha, and dormitories for the baseball team and judo club athletes.
Educational Activities
Okinawan Karate
Okinawa Shogaku believes that cultural capability is central to fostering a globally cultured person, and therefore requires all of its students to take Okinawan karate classes. Students aim to receive a black belt before graduating senior high school.
Volunteer Work
All of our students participate in social contribution activities at least twice a year. Volunteer activities are organized by class, grade, or course, but many after school clubs and individual students volunteer their time.
