Message from the President

In the 120 years since its foundation, Seigakuin has developed broad schools that contain kindergarten to graduate school. In this history, regardless of the experience of war and disaster, what Seigakuin has protected carefully is the educational philosophy based on the spirit of Protestantism. Raising the school motto “Love God and Serve His People” and sharing the tagline “Love and nurture one person” among the faculty and staff and staffs is because there is an unwavering belief in valuing people above all else that underlies the founding spirit. In the era that is inclined to measure the value of people by economic efficiency and rationality, the value of Seigakuin become more and more increase.
Through learning in this university, students would examine the way of how to live and how this modern society should be. I have seen many students who grew up academically and humanely through interactions with faculties and their friends in the environment of small-class education. To enhance this kind of educational effect, we introduced an educational system that visualizes the process of study, achievement, and assumption of experience of each student to help them to go forward to new learning by reviewing their achievements of study and growth.
Furthermore, we opened the students-encourage center named “Philia”. “Philia” is a one-stop window that receives student’s consultations and worries and encourages students to spend fulfilling university life. At this window, professional staff would answer student’s consultations.
Although the primary role of learning in the university is student, the faculty and staff of the university would provide the chance of growing according to their interests and individualities, and if needed, support with educational considerations.
Education at our university is watching over the “now” and guiding the “future”. I would like you to start your new learning and student life at Seigakuin University.
