Since its opening in April 1998, Atelier e.f.t. has adopted the educational philosophy of “learning how to live through making” and has
Through creative experiences through design and design, each student refines his or her individuality and enjoys interacting with society.* We aim to acquire the skills to build a fulfilling life. * We have produced many unique talents.
“Atelier e.f.t.” will be opened this time.
Based on the creative work cultivated over the past 26 years, the High School provides educational programs that encourage students to make their own choices and take responsibility, and foster a sense of security and self-confidence.
Through this, students will acquire skills that will help them carve out a path for themselves in life.

E.F.T.’s education distinguishes itself from traditional supply-based education (supply-side), and allows students to learn independently (demand-side) through trial and error, developing thinking skills, creativity, communication skills, leadership, etc. Cannot be obtained through uniform education*
It is characterized by cultivating “non-cognitive abilities”. *
* ■What Atelier e.f.t. High School aims to do*
Atelier e.f.t.
The high school eliminates quantitative evaluations such as deviation scores, tests, and grades, and uses a unique educational method that does not make students compete excessively with each other.We maintain a high admission rate (pass rate of 98% or more every year).
At our school, we support a variety of career choices, such as going on to art school or starting a business, and provide an approach to help students realize who they want to be.
What makes this possible is our school’s advanced and flexible educational program of “learning how to live through making.”

* 1. “A person who explores even weaknesses and suffering and creates joy” * A person who has the power to turn even hardships and trials into sources of creativity and joy.
* 2. “A person who lives a rich life based on his or her own values” * A person who has their own unique perspective and the ability to carve out a life that suits them without being bound by the standards of others.
* 3. “People who contribute to society through creativity” * A person who can utilize their creativity and think outside the box to provide new value and contribute to society.
* ■Reasons for Atelier e.f.t. to establish a new high school division* For 26 years, Atelier e.f.t. has been exploring what kind of education creates happiness.
The process of creating art and design is filled with know-how for making society better and living your life in your own way, and we use this knowledge as teaching material to develop human resources who can carve out their own lives with unique approaches.
In the creative world, being different is a great strength. We are committed to creating an environment that recognizes and affirms individuality and characteristics.
To do this, we first need an environment where students can feel safe. If children have a place where their individuality is respected and they can learn with peace of mind, they will gain confidence and motivation, and will naturally acquire skills that will enrich their lives. Independent learning occurs only when there is a sense of security.
In addition, we have placed emphasis on the ability to think, rather than pursuing the correct answer through memorization.
Education that assumes there is one correct answer to everything standardizes individuality and creates collectivism, where people unconsciously follow the majority when making decisions and building consensus. This is different from the education system that is biased towards test scores and deviation values.
*
As a result of our pursuit of “an education that respects each child’s individuality and allows them to think deeply and
independently with curiosity and excitement in a safe environment,” we have established this new course that allows children to obtain a high school diploma. *
We believe that this will allow us to offer options that children will want to learn about.

* ■Art School Atelier e.f.t. Overview*
Founded in 1998 by representative Takashi Yoshidada, the two schools, Osaka Uehonmachi School and Nara Ikoma School, have approximately 200 students from 4 years old to adults.
Many members attend (including support for people with disabilities). Our basic educational policy is to “Learn how to live through making,” and through the process of various creative experiences derived from art and design, we focus on meaningful sensations that people cannot yet put into words (felt sense). This is an organization whose purpose is to acquire the skills that will allow you to gain experience, hone your uniqueness, create your unique self, and carve out a rich life while having fun and interacting with society.
