A Guide to our School:
Here at Nara Senior High School, we provide our students with a broad selection of introductory, intermediate and advanced courses intended to build a well-rounded education that will best prepare them for both university entrance exams and the rigor of university life. The student body covers three grades, each divided into ten to nine classes, with a total size of about 1,160 students.
School Philosophy:
Nara Senior High School is a school that is steeped in tradition. For over ninety years it has been a fixture in the community and has strived to provide the best education possible to the youth of Nara prefecture. With an emphasis on autonomy and creativity, we dedicate ourselves towards valuing and promoting the individuality.

Super Science High School :
In the year 2017 our school was designated again as a Super Science High School (SSH) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). SSH is a designation awarded by MEXT to upper secondary schools that prioritize science, technology, and mathematics. The program was launched as part of its "Science Literacy Enhancement Initiatives" in 2002. Having adopted the goals of the program, Nara Senior High School strives to produce “leaders of science in the future”. In our curriculum, there are a lot of elective subjects in the fields of English, geography, history, mathematics, and science all aimed at deepening students’ interests in science. In addition, our school established relations with universities and other academic institutions in order to encourage students' participation in lectures.
As a result, students were awarded the second place in the national convention of SSH in 2014,and the seventh place in Kagaku-no-Koshien the national conference of science in 2015.
School Life:
Most of our students have intentions of enrolling in university. With this in mind, our students study eagerly to achieve their goals, concentrating on and cherishing each lesson. Besides this, as extracurricular activities after school, our students vigorously perform club activities or run the student council. Many club activities participate in the nation-wide or the Kinki-district meetings. Through such activities, we hope to provide our students with opportunities beyond the bounds of academic coursework to become well-rounded citizens.

Facilities:
Here at Nara Senior High School, we provide a wide range of facilities that enable our students to achieve whatever goal they wish to achieve. Beyond our main school building, we also have the Seminar House, or “Hohsoge,” in which we are able to house many of our after school activities, including both club activities and student council. In addition to this, there is the “Palafora,” a sports complex containing showers and a training room, and the “Gaku-shoku,” a school cafeteria that offers the students an extensive menu. These are just some of the exterior buildings that help support our goals as a comprehensive senior high school.
