Our educational goal is to give students the ability to contribute to the local community, as well as skills needed to enter the global society. With the long-standing tradition of language teaching at Sapporo Sacred Heart, our students will be able to use English effectively and gain an understanding of international cultures.

There are 27 hours of lessons a week allocated to the study of all five major subjects. -Joint homeroom teachers, one native Japanese teacher and one native English speaker. -Learning in English immersion classes in which students learn other subjects while using English. -Students develop a sense of their own Japanese identity within a global society.
・Dormitory life: helping the students develop social and communication skills. -All of the first year Global Class students live together in the dormitory for the first three months of Junior High School.
