Crossover Summit of Tokyo Akademeia (Implemented starting from the 2024 academic year)
This is the school festival held at the six Tokyo Akademia schools of the Akademeia 21st Century. It is an opportunity for freshmen to showcase the skills they have acquired in the six months since their enrollment through performances, artwork exhibitions, and screenings, connecting it to their future growth. Our school also has collaborative presentations between different departments.
Promotion Performances/Promotion Productions (Second semester for first-year students), Graduation Performances/Graduation Productions (Second semester for second-year students)
Promotion Performances and Promotion Productions: In the second semester of the first year, students take the lead in creating works, utilizing the skills they have learned up to that point. These works are presented in the form of performances, artwork exhibitions, and screenings.

Graduation Performances and Graduation Productions: As the culmination of 2.5 years of study, students present higher-quality works than in their first year. While their student life comes to an end, skill improvement remains essential when entering the industry. They will reflect on and apply what they have learned in their future endeavors.
Job Preparation Seminar (Second semester for first-year students)
In preparation for post-graduation career decisions, at the end of the first year, students learn about business etiquette, interview preparation, and how to create application documents. Upon becoming second-year students, job hunting and auditions begin immediately, with the aim of securing job offers by the end of the first semester (by the end of September).
