Based on our founding principle of "Kindness," the school program nurtures each student's individuality and humanity, supports them in realizing their potential and enables them to thrive in a "co-creative society" where people of all genders work together to build a better future.

From the second year, they pursue specialized curriculums to achieve their career goals: the Humanities and Sciences Course, the Health and Medical Sciences University Collaboration Course, the Advanced Course, or the Science and Mathematics Course. One of the main features of our school is our strong collaboration with Nagoya Aoi University.
