Spotlight: Pre-Collegiate Global Learning

The Reischauer Scholars Program (RSP) is SPICE's longest-running online course for high school students. Through an interactive online learning experience, students receive a broad overview of Japan with a special focus on the U.S.–Japan relationship and engage with top scholars, ambassadors, and experts from the United States and Japan. 

In addition to the RSP, SPICE offers a range of online courses for high school students. Our national courses provide students with opportunities to learn about the world from different perspectives and to interact with likeminded students from across the United States, Japan, or China.

Featured Lesson Plans
Our lesson plans are content-rich, standards-aligned, and backed by the best Stanford scholarship available.
