Christian Values with Japanese Discipline
into separate divisions for boys and girls. The Nanzan Middle School for Boys was the first institution within the whole of Nanzan School Corporation. In 1932, the goals put forward by Nanzan’s founder of “an education based on the Christian spirit,” “an international character,” and “English-language education,” received a cool reception from many people in Nagoya. The school persevered during the troubled years that followed, until its ideals were finally appreciated by the citizens of Nagoya after the war. A girls division was added to the junior high school in 1948, along with divisions for girls and boys at the senior high school level. Now recognized throughout central Japan for its international character, academic excellence and its education of the whole person, Nanzan has secured a high reputation in secondary education.

Stress on Character Formation
Adolescence is a time of immense growth and a sometimes troubled transition from childhood to maturity. Nanzan’s educational goals at this age involve a threefold effort to form solid character, create a broad educational base, and instill a strong sense of responsibility—all with the Christian spirit of love and charity as the foundation. The six years of junior and senior high school can be especially difficult in presentday Japan, where the specter of “examination hell” casts a pall over these highly competitive and formative years. Nanzan brings a unique Christian approach to education during this critical phase of personal growth.
