## Overview

Our school is the only school for students with physical disabilities as an attached school in the national university. We provide high quality education to elementary, junior high, and high school students who have disabilities. The students can receive education that suits their abilities and individualities. As a school affiliated with the University of Tsukuba, we have a role to cooperate the university's education and research activities. We conduct research on theoretical and practical education. In addition, we cooperate with other special needs education schools, in conducting collaborative researches.
