Outline

The Refresh Academy is an alternative school established to rehabilitate students from elementary schools and junior high schools across the country who find it difficult to maintain daily school attendance. The Academy provides a safe space for students to maintain a regulated schedule. Attendance at the Refresh Academy is counted towards attendance at a student's home institution.
The Academy is equipped to allow students to commute daily, or to stay overnight. Meals and other facilities are provided.

It is located in Aikawa next to Suiun Park. Originally it was jointly operated by Kitaakita City and Akita Prefecture; currently it is operated solely by the city.
