About

Kashima Gakuen High School is a full-time high school in Kashima, Ibaraki. Its three study areas are University Preparation, Art and Global. International admission has separate grade, Japanese-language and residence requirements; this page does not describe correspondence education.

Main Features

University Preparation supports further study and career planning. Art develops drawing, design and computer illustration. Global emphasizes intercultural understanding and four English skills, with overseas language training and school events. Confirm international-student placement, available subjects and activity costs with the school.

International Admission: April 2027

Applicants must have completed or expect to complete junior high school, must not already hold a high-school diploma, and must be under 18 at entry. At least one year of Japanese study and a financial sponsor are required. For April entry, the guide lists N3 / J.TEST D level for grade 1 and N2 / J.TEST C level for grade 2. Transfer placement and credit recognition are assessed individually; transfer entry is generally limited to September of grade 2. Follow the complete school rules and document requirements.

For April 2027, the Japanese section gives 1 August to 20 October 2026 as the application period; the English line prints 2025 for the closing year. Confirm the deadline with the school immediately rather than relying on that inconsistent line. The guide also covers September 2026, whose application period has ended; it is not a September 2027 announcement.

Selection includes Japanese, English, mathematics and an interview. A parent or legal guardian must accompany the applicant. Campus examinations require advance registration; overseas dates depend on the venue. The examination fee is JPY 20,000, separate and non-refundable. Graduation, enrollment, transcripts and Japanese-study evidence are required as applicable. Admission and visa approval are not guaranteed.

High School Global Program

Standard high-school study is three years from grade 1. Transfer duration depends on recognized credits and placement. The September preparatory 3.5-year route belongs to the published September 2026 intake; confirm future availability. The school also publishes separate short-study arrangements, which are not the same as a graduation program.
