【卒業生からのメッセージ: 平木菜子さん】
平木菜子さんは現在ドイツのハンブルグバレエスクールで活躍しているバレエダンサーです。
東京都内の私立中高一貫校に通い、毎年のように私学協会優秀生徒賞受賞するなど、
バレエと学業を立派に両立してきましたが、中学卒業後は系列の付属高校への進学を辞退し、
バレエに集中できる環境を求めて東京インターハイスクールへ入学しました。

Mrs Hiraki Nako, a ballet dancer, came to Tokyo Inter-High School, Shibuya campus to receive her high-school diploma.
During her visit, she gave an interview (in Japanese) to our Academic Director and left a very inspiring message to all students pursuing the dream to become a ballet dancer.
"Dear future ballet dancers, this is Hiraki Nako.
I am currently studying at the School of the Hamburg Ballet in Germarny.
I entered Tokyo Inter-High School as a 9th grade student, and graduated after two years.
It was very difficult in many ways to combine my studying life and my dancing life,but since I determined my goals from the very beginning, I gave everything to fulfill them.In Inter-High, it doesn't matter when and where you study, as long as you do your best you will get results.I definitely recommend Tokyo Inter-High School to any student aspiring to become a ballet dancer."
This very inspiring message can be seen on Youtube. (Japanese with subtitles)
Ms. Hiraki is currently enrolled in the Hamburg Ballet School in Germany as a foreign student.
She started dancing at 5 years old and being excellent at it received excellence rewards.
She had a hard time juggling with dancing and studying when she was a junior high school student
in a private school. Since she decided to focus on dancing, she entered Tokyo Inter-
High School that would permit her to concentrate on Ballet while securing high school graduation.
She was able to graduate in just two years and we, at Tokyo Inter-High School, are very proud
to been able to meet her.
