ABOUT RIKKYO NIIZAENGLISH INFORMATION

Philosophy

  • Education Based on Christianity

    Rikkyo Gakuin's founding spirit is a set of principles based on education through Christian values. Based on this founding spirit, we have instituted a time for prayer in school life and also established teaching about Christianity and the Bible. While we respect the spirit of freedom, we also focus on education that emphasizes such subjects as "moderation and forgiveness", "adoration and humility", "orders and manners", in various situations such as periods for learning and research, the relationship between teachers and students, socialization with friends, and club activities.

  • Integrated Education System at Rikkyo Gakuin

    Rikkyo Gakuin aims to achieve a genuinely Integrated Education System with a view to higher education, as opposed to a typical unified junior and senior high school education system. The objective of this unique system is to develop capabilities for the pursuit of truth through clear objectives and cooperation. The education and learning steering committee has been established to consider educational reform throughout the whole of Rikkyo Gakuin, and educational cooperation between junior/senior high schools and universities is promoted.
