4. Science Tokyo High School will move from the current Tamachi Campus to Ookayama Campus (Midorigaoka area) in Meguro-ku, Tokyo. Construction of two new school buildings, designed for next-generation science and technology education, is currently underway to support this move. Taking full advantage of its new location, the school will strengthen collaboration with Science Tokyo more than ever before. This relocation marks a bold transformation, presenting a new vision for science and technology education in the coming era, and advancing toward the frontier of the field. Educational activities in the new school buildings New educational activities will begin in two new buildings scheduled for completion in FY 2026. Sharing campus facilities with Institute of Science Tokyo High school students have access to facilities on campus, creating a rich and highly attractive learning environment. “Advancing toward the frontier of science and engineering education with Science Tokyo” Promoting high school & university connections and collaboration Deepening high school–university connections and collaboration by leveraging the advantages of being located on an Institute campus. The Future of Institute of Science Tokyo High School New buildings are under construction for the relocation to Ookayama Campus in April 2027
