- NANZAN-EDUCATION
NANZAN SCHOOL CORPORATION was founded in 1932 by the Society of the Divine Word (also known as Divine Word Missionaries) and was later joined by institutions established by the Mission Congregation of the Servants of the Holy Spirit(1995) as well as the Congregation Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart (2016). It serves as the umbrella organization for a complex of educational institutions, including two kindergartens, one primary school, four high schools and Nanzan University. Their common purpose is to provide an education based on the Christian world view across all fields of knowledge. The essence of the Christian world view is the conviction that God has endowed each and every human being with inviolable dignity, irrespective of religion, moral or other qualities. Thus, the purpose of all Nanzan education, whether at the university and high schools, or at the primary school and kindergartens, is to foster awareness of, and readiness to promote human dignity in all walks of life. The commitment to such an education is proclaimed by the Nanzan motto “Hominis Dignitati ― for the dignity of all human beings.” Failure to thank is failure to think. As we look back at the miraculous growth of Nanzan, we can only feel a profound sense of gratitude: to God for the unfailing care bestowed upon us, and to our benefactors for the many sacrifices they have made through the years so that God’s work might be fulfilled by the frail hands that are ours. To our generous friends in many countries, a heartfelt “Thank you.”
