Welcome to “Water is Life 2018”! After the two successful conferences and thanks to a tremendous support from Raffles Institution and Maurick College, Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen is very happy to announce the next edition of “Water is Life” here in Japan in July, 2018.

Our school motto, translated as ‘Seek and Think for Oneself,’ embodies the educational philosophy of Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen. We strive to foster a spirit of independence and intellectual curiosity in our students by providing a learning environment which is conducive to these goals. We also aim at instilling multicultural awareness by providing a variety of opportunities such as exchange programs with schools abroad.

We believe that our school is the perfect setting for “Water is Life”, whose vision is to nurture future leaders for the effective stewardship of water resources through international cooperation.

We look forward to offering a valuable learning opportunity to promising high school students from around the world.
