The school was built to ease overcrowding at a nearby campus caused by rapid population growth of more than 4,000 residents over the past decade around Kyudai-Gakkentoshi Station. The four-story building features multipurpose spaces and a glass-walled library. An opening ceremony was held as the new academic year began across 228 elementary and junior high schools in the city. Students and staff expressed commitment to building a new school community as enrollment continues to rise in the area. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fnn.jp\/articles\/-\/1026670\" target=\"_blank\">TNC News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ntv.co.jp\/n\/fbs\/category\/life\/fs8e32a7abbaa94830bbf12f253312c029\" target=\"_blank\">FBS News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_susenji-junior-high-school-new_2026_cl.jpg?resize=968%2C726&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"968\" height=\"726\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_susenji-junior-high-school-new_2026_cl.jpg?w=968&amp;ssl=1 968w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_susenji-junior-high-school-new_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_susenji-junior-high-school-new_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: Fukuoka City<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
