理数科主任挨拶 of New Site 5

第二高校理数科へようこそ

本校理数科は昭和４４年（１９６９）に設置されました。多くの卒業生が社会の各分野で活躍しています。
理科・数学が特に好きな生徒諸君が多く在籍していますが、普通科の教科と調和を図りながら、理工系大学等への進学に十分対応できる学力の育成に努めています。
また、理数科では、理科三科目を学べます（普通科理系では二科目まで）。
大学入試で、理科三科目を課される医学部等の受験にも有利です。
また、自ら課題を見付け、科学的に探究処理し、その結果を発表する課題研究や天草を中心とした野外研修もあります。
県下の理数科設置校では体験することのできない、スーパーサイエンスハイスクール（ＳＳＨ）事業があります。本校は、平成１５年度からの３か年に引き続いて、平成１８年より新たに５年間、文部科学省から研究開発校として指定を受けています。
ＳＳＨ事業では、大学の先生からの講義や英語で理科の実験が行われたり、研究機関を訪問し、最先端の科学技術にふれたりと豊富で貴重な学習ができます。
理数分野に興味があり、何事にも一生懸命に取り組む人、第二高校理数科の一員として、一緒に学びませんか。

Welcome to Daini High School's math and science class!

Our math and science class was founded in 1969, and many of our alumni have gone on to play an important role in society. Although a lot of the students who join our class are interested in math and science, the curriculum is also well integrated with other subjects. The class allows students to develop the skills needed to enter university in order to study subjects such as science and engineering. The main difference between the math and science class and the general classes is that students get the opportunity to study three science-related subjects. This allows students who wish to study medicine or a related field at university to meet the entrance requirements for the course.

Our class also completes research assignments and takes trips to Amakusa in order to conduct fieldwork. Students are expected to develop their own research interests, perform their own investigation, write up their findings and give a presentation on completion.

Our school is the only one in the prefecture which participates in the SSH (Super Science Highschool) project. Daini was selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2003 as a participant school for an initial period of three years, and for an additional period of five years in 2006. In the SSH program, students have the opportunity to participate in many supplementary activities. Students attend lectures given by university professors and also have the chance to visit research laboratories. They may also attend science classes given in English. Through the SSH project students are introduced to state-of-the-art developments in science and technology.

Students who wish to join the math and science class should have a keen interest in math and science and should be prepared to work hard and do their best.

So why not become a member of Daini's math and science class and study together?
