'Integrated Education Program' for Systematically Strengthening Learning at the Affiliated Schools

In today's rapidly changing society, where the future is difficult to predict, non-cognitive abilities—intangible 'life skills' that cannot be measured by grades alone—are becoming increasingly important. To nurture this foundation, the school will implement six distinctive educational programs, including 'Wonder Quest' and 'Mirai Design.'

About the Tagline 'Encountering Myself, Growing Myself'

The tagline 'Encountering Myself, Growing Myself,' displayed at the top of the website, expresses the students' journey of growth based on the school's educational philosophy of over 120 years—the Three Guiding Principles: 'Firm Conviction,' 'Self-Initiated Creation,' and 'Collective Service.' It reflects students confronting themselves, building their values and judgment, embodying the spirit of 'Firm Conviction' and 'Self-Initiated Creation.' This learning journey further develops into the university's tagline, 'I Act, the World Opens,' connecting to the principle of 'Collective Service.' The tagline embodies the aspiration to cultivate individuals who discover unknown aspects of themselves, reflect inwardly, and confidently shape their own futures.
