What is HLAB?
HLAB is a summer school program that promotes Liberal Arts to Japanese students. Affiliated with the Japan-America Student Conference and American Universities such as Harvard and MIT, HLAB’s mission is to provide liberal arts education beyond generation and nationality as well as an experimental place (Laboratory) for new framework of educational system in Japan.
High school students, university students, and working people from all over the world gather to think about independent career choices and future design in a diverse environment.
HLAB was founded in 2011 for that purpose. Based on the concept of “liberal arts that transcends borders,” this is an education and international exchange program that advocates a new form of career guidance through cross-border and cross-generational exchanges that do not depend on deviation values or brands.
“Liberal arts” advocated by HLAB is “a system that can provide maximum support for individuals to face themselves, look for interests, and make independent choices for the future.” HLAB will accomplish this mission in a diverse space with participation from all over Japan and around the world.
Since there are borders between schools and generations around Japanese high school students, it is easy to spend three years in a closed environment. HLAB removes that border, touches people and ideas that you wouldn’t normally meet, and provides an opportunity to think about the future.
