J. F. Oberlin University signed a high school-university partnership agreement with Yokohama Suiryo High School (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) on Friday, July 3, 2026, and held a signing ceremony at our university's Machida Campus.

The signing ceremony was attended by Principal Shin Yamamoto, Vice Principal Kaoru Hayashi, Director of Public Relations Tajima for Entrance Exams, and Director of Academic Affairs Ide from Yokohama Suiryo High School. Vice President Kiyoshi Hori (Admissions and Career Affairs) and Director of Admissions Nakamura from our university attended.

At the ceremony, after an explanation of the purpose and objectives leading to the signing of the agreement, introductions of attendees from both schools were conducted, followed by a greeting by Principal Yamamoto and Vice President Hori, signing of the agreement, presentation of the agreement, and a commemorative photo session proceeded smoothly.

Background of the Agreement

In recent years, as inquiry-based learning initiatives have been promoted at Yokohama Suiryo High School, we have received inquiries from the school and actively engaged in educational exchanges, such as the use of the J. F. Oberlin University Discovery Program, an inquiry-based learning support program for high school students. Additionally, the school has a connection where graduates of our university have joined and are active as faculty, and these multifaceted connections have culminated in the conclusion of this agreement.

Regarding future collaboration

By concluding this agreement, we will promote the following forms of collaboration:

• Conducting guest lectures and mock classes by faculty members of our university.

• Planning and implementation of collaborative programs related to inquiry-based learning and career education.

- Providing learning opportunities utilizing university facilities and educational resources

- Enhancement of information provision and consultation services regarding entrance examinations and further education.

Through these initiatives, we aim to facilitate a smoother transition from high school to university education, further foster the students' inquisitiveness and motivation to learn, and support their diverse career choices.

J. F. Oberlin University Initiatives for Collaboration Between High School and University

J. F. Oberlin University actively promotes initiatives to support high school students' career exploration and deepening learning through partnership agreements with high schools. Through new collaboration with Yokohama Suiryo High School, we will work together with the local community to improve the quality of education, expand the potential of each student, and contribute to nurturing human resources who will shape the future.
