- A Discipline that Respects the Individual
A degree of discipline and a sense of responsibility to the group are definite attributes of Japanese culture and education. While building upon these virtues, Nanzan also emphasizes a deeply held Christian respect for human dignity and for the individual differences manifested in each student. The six-year period each boy and girl spends at Nanzan provides a generous time span in which teachers obtain a deep knowledge of students and form close ties with them on an individual basis. In a highly test-conscious country where matriculation in secondary schools can be at the expense of character development, Nanzan feels it has a special mission in teenage education. Nanzan respectfully begs to differ with the intensely academic educational systems of today which create a false dichotomy between so-called academic excellence and personal development. At Nanzan both are stressed for the long term benefit and growth of our students.
