In an Era Where Grades Alone Are Not Enough, What Is Truly Needed?
"Hands-on experience" and "Deep exploration of specialized fields"
At prestigious universities in the U.S. and elsewhere, achieving top grades is considered a basic expectation. In today's university admissions process, it is not just academic performance that matters, but also the student's ability to deepen their own interests and pursue "passion projects" in their field of study. Practical experience has become a crucial factor in determining admission outcomes.
In Enlite Academy's Research Program, students learn university-level research methodologies with the guidance of professors and researchers from institutions such as the University of Tokyo. Through English-language research and workshops, they immerse themselves deeply in their field of interest.
As a final project, students will create a unique research paper that will be beneficial for university admissions. The paper and its presentation will be evaluated by professors and researchers from prestigious universities such as the University of Tokyo, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and Kyoto University.

What did you like or what was helpful about the research program?
“I thought it was good because I had a format or base laid out for me to follow which I was helped through and got advice for how to work on what I wanted to research about. It'll probably help me prep for college through compiling data,researching,analyzing to see if the sources I put down were reliable,etc as these are things I need to know how to do for college” - Grade 11, Mita International High School
“I think it was very helpful for me to actually work on the experiment. I got the hand of the necessary parts of researching, and I further understood about the types of researches.” - Grade 12 student
“I think it will definitely help in my future since I will need to do a lot of projects in high school.” -Grade 10
“It was a great experience where you can actually do an experiment from scratch. Its actually really good if you have something you are truly interested in.” - Grade 12, Mita International High School
