Waseda Shibuya Senior High School (Japanese: 早稲田大学系属早稲田渋谷シンガポール校, Hepburn: Waseda Daigaku-kei Zoku Waseda Shibuya Shingapōru Kō) is a Japanese school in West Coast, Singapore. It is affiliated with Waseda University in Shinjuku, Tokyo, making it a regional branch of a Japanese private school, and is located on the city-state's western coast. The school is operated by Waseda Shibuya Senior High School Pte. Ltd. Waseda Shibuya Senior High School was founded in April 1991 as the Shibuya Makuhari Singapore School (渋谷幕張シンガポール校, Shibuya Makuhari Shingapōru Kō). The opening 10th-grade class included 50 Japanese students whose families lived in Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, and Thailand. At the time the school was affiliated with the Shibuya Kyouiku Gakuen (渋谷教育学園, Shibuya Kyōiku Gakuen), the agency operating Makuhari Junior and Senior High School in Chiba, Chiba Prefecture. As of 1991 it was the only Japanese overseas boarding senior high school outside of the United States and Europe. Tetsuo Tamura (田村 哲夫 Tamura Tetsuo), who had served as the head of the Shibuya Kyouiku Gakuen, stated that he wished to establish an overseas Japanese school in Asia after learning about the sense of alienation from society many Japanese felt after returning from overseas. Tamura established a regional branch in Asia because he believed other Japanese international schools were too oriented to Europe and the United States. More information...
