High school students select their course at the end of 1st year; either Bunkei (humanities & social science) or Rikei (engineering, natural and medical science). Both course have common subjects but the contents of each subjects differ. For instance, the former do not learn partial differentiation or matrix calculation in Math.

Every school has different timetable, but as an example (of 2nd year):

Normal Course


Special Course


国語 Japanese
体育 P.E.
保健 Health Science
現代文 Modern Japanese
古典 Classic Japanese and Chinese
数学 Mathematics
生物 Biology
英語 English Reading
ライティング English Composition
世界史 World History

演習 Practical Lesson
創造 Creative Class
