Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School (立命館宇治中学校・高等学校) (also known as Rits Uji) is a private school located in the city of Uji south of Kyoto, Japan. The high school opened in 1994 and the middle school opened in 2003. It is currently one of four junior and senior high schools affiliated with Ritsumeikan University. The Ritsumeikan family of schools also includes Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, located in Beppu, and Ritsumeikan Primary School, located in north Kyoto.
The school is noted for its English language education programs and athletic achievement. The school introduced English immersion education in 2000, and in 2002, was designated a Super English Language (SEL) high school by the Japanese government. In 2009, the school was authorized by the IBO as the first Article 1 (government approved) Japanese institution in the Kansai region to provide the IB Diploma Program (IBDP). In 2014, the school was selected as a Super Global High School by the Japanese government, and in 2019 a World-Wide Learning (WWL) Hub School, both of which earned the school sizable supplementary grants.
In athletics, the school has a rich history of success in women's Ekiden relays, including multiple national championships. It also has had national level success in men's soccer, American football, baton twirling, baseball, and other sports.
