History

The school building, covered in ivy

The school's year of establishment is 1878.[3]

A new building opened in 1912.[4]

Another new building was established after the

Great Kanto Earthquake.[1]

U.S. bombing raids destroyed the school in May 1945. It was rebuilt to closely match the previous building.[4]

By 2016 some new family-style apartments opened in the school's attendance boundary, prompting an increase of students in the attendance zone.[4]

The school requires its students to wear

U.S. dollars.[5] The price for the smallest compulsory set was over 100% more than that of the other uniform.[6]

Student body

In 2016 the school had 334 students, with over 30 of them residing in the attendance boundary. Other students commuted from other areas such as Harumi and Kachidoki [ja].[4]

Operations

The cafeteria uses the same menu used in other Chuo City schools, although for special occasions it sources its broth from the owner of

field trips.[4]
