Providing a platform for students to be creative!

The Chufu Research Festival (CRF) stems from a specially designed course called Project in English (PIE), which began in our school in 2010. Initially designed for students from junior high school to the second year of high school, the course expanded in 2019 to include third-year high school students. The course focuses on task-based learning and culminates in our students completing their graduation projects in English; students on the humanities course create a 3-minute video about their graduation thesis topic, while the students on the science course conduct and present their research and findings. 

Initially, students presented their work within their classes. In 2022, to further challenge our students, the program introduced poster sessions and invited 37 students from Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Science and Technology and Tokyo Metropolitan Tama High School of Science and Technology to participate. The event was a success as it allowed our students to use English in a natural setting. In 2023, the event was officially named the Chufu Research Festival (CRF), becoming a key part of the course, which gives our students the platform to showcase their achievements gained from the PIE program, combined with their research work.
