Our school was founded 98 years ago. It is the only blind school in this prefecture. We teach students ranging from more than 50 years old in our high school department to as young as 3 years old in our children’s department. At our school, “We bring up students with happy hearts and healthy minds, and provide education that focus on social independence.” We provide careful guidance and conform to education guidelines. We also take great care in accommodating to the special needs and personality of each individual student.
[Important guidance points]
1.Taking into consideration the unique personality and ability of each student, we broadly assess their future possibilities. 2.We emphasize two general educational values: vocational education and the improvement of scholarship. 3.Furthermore, through daily activities and workshops, we provide the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve social independence, such as cooking, home keeping, etc. 4.Lastly, we try to instill the basic habits and behaviors to create students rich in human nature and strong in character.
In 1994, we established a vision-impaired education consultation room. We distributed pamphlets to the medical institutions, and schools from elementary to senior high school throughout the cities and towns of Yamanashi Prefecture. We also carry out periodical consultations in and outside of our school in order to help children troubled with sight disorders. Our school also has a rehabilitation department and provides employment guidance to people who are or have become half-way handicapped as well as providing employment guidance to post-graduates. We are working towards the goal of becoming the top educational center of Japan for the visually impaired. We look forward to any comments or suggestions. We want to improve and provide the best possible education and services to our students. We wait for your opinions and ideas after viewing this homepage.
