- HOLY SPIRIT JUNIOR & SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Children of the Light
Founded by Saint Arnold Janssen, both the Society of the Divine Word and the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Spirit first founded a girls’ school in Akita Prefecture in 1908. After World War II, Holy Spirit Junior High School was founded in Nagoya in 1949, then the senior high school in 1952. In 1970, they moved to Seto with the establishment of Nagoya Seirei Junior College. In 1995, these Holy Spirit schools merged with Nanzan School Corporation.
Educational Philosophy and History
The educational philosophy of Holy Spirit Junior and Senior High School is expressed in these words of Scripture: “Live as children of the light. The fruits of the light are in all goodness and righteousness and truth.” “Live as children of the light.” These words have been the motto of Holy Spirit High School since its founding in 1949. They instill an awareness of the individual as a unique being, a respect for others and oneself, and a disposition to live in harmony with others and serve them. The educational goal is to nurture young women of healthy mind and body who respect truth, goodness, and beauty. Students cultivate strong character, high intelligence, firm will, and rich, refined sensibilities.
Main Educational Objectives
Religious Education Our students have one hour of religion per week. The aim is a gradual acquaintance with and deeper understanding of Christianity. Various activities during the year serve as occasions to put love into practice such as school assemblies in the church for “Religious Activities Day” and the “Christmas Liturgy”. These activities aim at fostering religious sensibilities, the ability to exercise good judgment, and a prayerful disposition.
