OUR ORIGIN

Tradition, Innovation, and the Future

Opening the door to the future through the power of language.

Language becomes a bridge connecting the world.

Culture becomes the soil that enriches the heart.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Educational Philosophy: "Opening the Door to the Future Through the Power of Language"

Opening the Door to the Future Through the Power of "Language"

Based on this philosophy, our school aims for each student to acquire the "power of language" in Japanese, opening doors to a future where they can play an active role not only in Japan but also in the international community.

Specific Definition of the "Power of Language"

The "power of language" that our school nurtures refers not only to fluent Japanese language proficiency but also to "social Japanese language ability"—the ability to accurately understand the situation of the person and the setting, and to select and use the most appropriate expressions accordingly.
