Chuo has established a comprehensive network of international partner institutions and designated overseas schools as part of strengthening its international strategy. Leveraging this network, Chuo will expand the high school-university cooperative education system that has been developed in Japan and overseas, cooperate with prestigious overseas primary and secondary schools, and by continuing to accept outstanding students, further promote human development in global society. In March 2021, Chuo entered into a cooperation agreement with JIS. Opened in 2016, JIS is Vietnam’s first school integrating kindergarten through high school education, with the aim of establishing a school modeled on the Japanese education system. Professor Emeritus Tadashi Yamada of the Faculty of Science and Engineering served as the first Principal of JIS, and attended the opening ceremony.
The new hub at JIS has been established with a view toward the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan in September 2023.
