Message from Principal

It is still dominant to apply numerical evaluation or assessment toward the quality and value of education. There is a fact that various standards and criteria are swallowed into a huge organization, personal interest and curiosities are ignored, and individuality is not respected. However, should we regard “being mainstream” or “being efficient” as common sense or a virtue at home and school?
Since we leave our future to younger children, we hope them to grow getting involved even in something undesirable with creativity for somebody’s happiness, even if it is a detour, working together with well-balanced coordination, overcoming difficulties with sense of responsibility, and developing a realistic ability to survive.
It is said that to foster the ability to survive, it is important to cycle three elements well; A(anticipation), A(action), and R(Reflection). In addition to this AAR, another A(awareness) is also important, since to polish the ability of awareness leads to raise an attitude of active and explorative learning, so called “deep learning”. “Awareness” means to know the existence of various things, to know its meaningfulness, and to get interested in it: moreover, to distinguish and evaluate given information and abilities.
Apostle Paul writes in the Bible, “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment.” (Philippians 1:9)

　魂の奥底から真実で正直な人、
　罪を罪と呼ぶのに恐れない人、
　磁石の針が南北を指示して変わらないように、
　良心が義務に忠実な人、
　天が落ちかかろうとも正しいことのために立つ人
　－そういう人である。」
