Situation

Kanou elementary school is located in an area with a long history and a traditional school

which celebrated its 144thyear. We are one of the most prestigious schools in Gifu continuously

suggesting practical and versatile educational research as a training school affiliated with Gifu

University, teacher training schools, and a research school leading in education in Gifu. We

raise students with practical skills in various fields aiming to achieve our educational goal

“Beautiful Mind & Think & Achieve”. Our notable achievements are as follows;

（Academic level）

According to the result of Achievement Tests given around the country, we marked the

highest in Japanese, Mathematics and Science.

（Sports）

We achieved brilliant results in National Sports Tests and got a prize as a Physical Fitness

Excellence School in 2013 and 2014.

（Culture）

We focus on Chorus and Drama. As for Chorus, we won first prize at a contest in Gifu, and

participated in a Tokai area tournament. Another student activity is Creative Opera which

has a history of more than 50 years. It is famous all over the country and has been staged at

many official places.

In addition, we came up with the theme “Deepen Beautiful Mind” and have tried to make

thoughtful relationships to respect each other working on moral education, communicating

between different grades and having discussions. Based on these relationships, we develop

their self-governing and self-motivated ideas to improve their school life.

We also put effort into cooperation with the local community. Since 2014, we have

implemented a Community-School Program with parents and local community. As part of this

program, we promote disaster education and enrich students’ educational environment through

disaster prevention practices and local cleaning projects. Moreover, we encourage involvement

in local traditional events such as “Otaue-Dance”.
