Learning of Tomorrow [Today] Clark International Explores How to Create a School Where Students Can Pursue What They Love. —“If You Love It, You’ll Be Good at It 2.0”— Today's online symposium is titled "Clark International's Approach to Creating Schools That Empower Students to Pursue Their Passions: 'Passion Leads to Mastery 2.0.'"
Clark Memorial International High School, which has introduced a new learning style called the “full-time correspondence program”—where students attend school daily despite being enrolled in a correspondence program—and offers distinctive classes that take advantage of the curriculum’s flexibility, has become the first school in Japan to adopt “Labster,” a VR-based virtual science experiment platform developed by Labster, Inc.
We’ll also be introducing the educational programs at Clark Memorial International High School, a pioneer in full-time correspondence high schools that offers innovative courses—such as an esports program.
