Rikkyo Educational Corporation

Rikkyo Educational Corporation traces its origins back to the St. Paul's School, a private school teaching Bible studies and English that was founded in the Tsukiji district of Tokyo in 1874 by Bishop Channing Moore Williams, a missionary who had been sent out to Japan by the Episcopal Church.

Right up until the present day, Rikkyo Educational Corporation has remained true to the ethos on which it was founded — Humanistic education based on Christianity — and provides an integrated education from elementary school through to university level.

A human-centric education which cultivates an ethos of freedom, in which one is always striving to look beyond external phenomena to discern the essence of things, and which values individuality…

This, in a nutshell, is the spirit of Rikkyo Educational Corporation, founded on Christian principles.
