Among Tokyo Metropolitan Oshima Kaiyo-kokusai High School's ocean education activities, of particular note are the opportunities for students to conduct practical research activities, work on projects with universities and other institutions, and take part in hands-on education about ship operations. The school places particular emphasis on such hands-on ship education, stating it is one of the pillars in cultivating the students' character, and its educational benefits have also been well received over the years. We believe the special environment on the training ships helps to strengthen these benefits, and that its combination with hands-on learning creates an inspirational experience for the students.
