History
Otori High School was founded in Sakai city in 1922, as the 14th high school in Osaka Prefecture. The following year, thanks to generous land and financial donations, the school accepted the invitation of the locals and transferred to Harada.
Scale
Now, about 1000 students study in Otori High School and about 60 teachers support them. There are 8 “homerooms” in each grade from the 1st to the 3rd grade. From the 2nd grade, students choose between either Science focus or Arts focus, according to the major which they want to study in university. For example, a student who wishes to study Engineering in university would choose a Science focus and study subjects like physics and mathematics, whereas a student who wished to study a foreign language would choose an Arts focus and study sbjects like English and music.
