The 21st century requires us to have an international awareness of scientific, technological and social interaction in this turbulent age. Taking full advantage of a continuous education system as an affiliated school of Ritsumeikan University and Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, we develop students' motivation and spirit of inquiry. Students enjoy the surrounding beautiful nature and great Lake Biwa, and the wonderful school life on a brand new campus. They also have opportunities to encounter various people; both local and from all over the world. We provide integrated programs of science and humanities, and advanced placement programs closely cooperating with the colleges of Ritsumeikan University, as well as a wide variety of field research and active learning. I believe our students' training, inspiration and talents will contribute to the world. The world is our stage: We will create it.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further information on the ARISS program is available on the website http://www.ariss.org/ (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada).
