Keio Shonan-Fujisawa Junior & Senior High School (慶應義塾湘南藤沢中・高等部 Keiō Gijuku Shōnan Fujisawa Chū Kōtōbu) is located on the campus of Keio University in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Since its founding in 1992, the school has been commonly known as Keio SFC, or simply SFC. The overwhelming majority (99%) of its students advance to Keio University, one of the top universities in Japan.
[edit] School
This school teaches students from Junior and Senior High School, which is 7th to 12th grade in the United States. There are 160 students per grade in Junior High, while 80 more join from Senior High. Most of the teachers teach both schools. The two schools are held in the same building, which isn't common in Japan; usually, Junior and Senior-High is separated. Keio SFC is a sister school of St Michael's Grammar School in Victoria, Australia.
[edit] Campus
The nearest station is Shonandai, which is about an hour away from Shinjuku by train. Almost all of the students take the bus from the station, since the campus is quite far. About a quarter of the students are returnees who lived in various countries, especially the United States.
