Inagakuen Public High School

Inagakuen is a coeducational junior and senior high school in Saitama prefecture, Japan.

[1] It has the status of SELHi, Super English Language High school.

Although Japanese law prohibits the hiring of non-Japanese-citizens as teachers[citation needed] , there are 6 full-time and 3 part-time native speakers of foreign languages: French, German, English and Chinese.

The school is divided into 6 houses, owing to the large size (around 2700 students with over 250 teachers).

The campus is over 3 times as large as the Tokyo Dome, at 155,000 square meters, and features 3 gymnasiums, an outdoor swimming pool, a running track, baseball and tennis courts as well as soccer pitches.

There are approximately 50 very active extra-curriclaur clubs, including all the usual sports and hobbies, and some less common, such as lacrosse and broadcasting.

Notable club successes: Every year, over a weekend at the beginning of September the school hosts a culture festival, which is very popular with local Japanese people (usually over 15000 attendees).
