Azabu High School (麻布高等学校, Azabu Kōtōgakkō?), referred to as "Azabu," is a private preparatory day school in Japan. It teaches boys between seventh and twelves grades. The campus of Azabu is located in the Azabu district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Azabu High School technically consists of two institutions, which are Azabu Junior and Senior High Schools (麻布中学校・高等学校, Azabu Chūgakkō Kōtōgakkō?), a former teaches pupils between seventh and ninth grades while the latter teaches pupils between tenth and twelves grades.
Azabu is one of the most prestigious preparatory schools in Japan, and perhaps most widely known as a member of "The Three Houses for Boys," along with Kaisei Academy and Musashi Junior & Senior High School. The school has been constantly sending approximately one third of its graduates to the most prestigious university in Japan, University of Tokyo. Unlike other academically distinguished schools (including Kaisei Academy) sending students to the University of Tokyo, however, the traditions at Azabu are liberal and magnanimous. For example, there are no established school rules that students are required to observe, and there is no "study-compelling" atmosphere.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usna’s children died.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
