Introduction to Aoyama Gakuin

Since 1874, the founding spirit of Aoyama Gakuin, which is based on the Christian faith, has succeeded in becoming a living tradition. As a comprehensive educational institution comprising schools from the kindergarten through the graduate school, we will continue our efforts to implement various types of educational reforms aimed at character building in the truest sense so that our graduates can contribute to modern day society.

Mission(Educational Policy, School Motto)

Aoyama Gakuin provides education and research consistent with "The Educational Policy of Aoyama Gakuin" in line with the "mission," which is based on the Christian faith. Each school from the kindergarten the university has its own principles and goals determined by the age of the students.

History of Aoyama Gakuin

Aoyama Gakuin is a Christian school with Methodist roots.
It is one of the oldest schools in Japan, with a history of more than 140 years, and it has held fast to its Christian education.
During that time there have been many hardships.
Each time, all teachers and staff members have worked hard to achieve the growth that we see today. The present Aoyama Gakuin was formed by combining the previous Girls' and Boys' Schools in 1927.
The university was established in 1949, turning Aoyama into an integrated campus encompassing the kindergarten through the graduate school.
