At Kumon Kokusai Gakuen, we deeply cherish the spirit of "Freedom" and "Self-Discipline." To attain our school's educational objectives, we value the individuality of each student and aim to develop their abilities to the fullest, thereby nurturing human resources who will build a peaceful and prosperous global society.
While our academy does not have official school rules, this does not mean that "anything goes." Rather, we want students to acquire the capacity to think for themselves about "what is the right thing to do" and act accordingly.
To ensure that both students and faculty share a mutual understanding of this fundamental policy and cultivate a school culture fitting for an international academy, we have established the following Kumon Kokusai Gakuen Student Charter.
This Charter was created out of an earnest desire to nurture individuals who will seek and act for the freedom and peace of human society at any place and at all times. This Charter respects the mutual rights and responsibilities between individuals. Consequently, while guaranteeing the following rights to all students, it demands the corresponding responsibilities that come with exercising those rights. We bear the responsibility to deepen our understanding of this Charter and, by realizing its principles, lead a richer and more meaningful school life.
- Students possess the right to hold human dignity and live happily. This also means they have the right not to be subjected to any treatment that causes physical or mental distress.
- Students possess the right to have their individualities respected at this academy. This includes the right not to be treated unfairly based on mental or physical conditions, gender, nationality, race, religion, language, or any other differences.
- Students possess the right to express themselves in any situation. This also means they are free to ask questions at the academy and openly share their opinions and feelings.
- Students possess the right to learn and engage in activities in a manner that suits them. This means that as long as it does not conflict with the educational goals of the academy, they can thoroughly pursue their chosen studies without being envied or disparaged based on their learning progress.
- Students possess the right to hold their personal belongings as their own property. This includes the right not to have their possessions searched or damaged within the academy premises without justifiable cause.
- Students possess the right to grow toward a higher level of well-being. This also means they have the right to seek counsel when facing difficulties and to utilize appropriate healthcare services when sick.
- Students possess the right and responsibility to participate in improving school life in cooperation with the academy. This includes the right to organize a student council to collectively address common issues, and through proper procedures, create or amend lifestyle-related regulations—including the Student Charter itself—along with the coexisting responsibility to uphold them.
Please note that the aforementioned rights of students may be restricted when they pertain to the following matters:
- Respecting the rights and credibility of other individuals.
- Respecting the harmony and social credit of the academy.
- Compliance with the laws and regulations of Japan.
