Our school is a school offering a small bilingual elementary course in small to 1 to 6 English and Japanese unique in the Tokai region and an infant course from 2 to 5 years old only in English. In recent years, in Aichi and Nagoya, which are becoming more international, our school's "to cultivate students as" international people "that combines knowledge and integrity in the evolving global environment" There is growing interest in the mission's mission. Since its establishment in 2006, the school has welcomed students, teachers, and guardians with diverse cultures and backgrounds. Given the mission of the school, we can share not only the students but also guardians and teachers, which are examples, to share, understanding our culture deeper and at the same time We are trying to build compassion for you. "Showa" which was said to be "the era of war" has passed, 21 years have already passed since the era of "Heisei". The role of "national education" played in the reconstruction of the land after the war is truly great, a democratic education of "collectivism" and "equality" greatly raises the intellectual level of our citizens in a short period, Bringing a lot of knowledge and skills from developed countries in the world has brought about a tremendous effect. In the blink of an eye, Japan reconstructed the nation, the economy rebuilt, decades the national income and living are going to rise to the world top class. And Heisei era. This era is the era of the world era, the relationship between friendship and cooperation between countries in the international community is rapidly deepening. In other words, Japan in the world is questioned and asked whether we can and should do for the world for "the human family all brothers", "as a member of the human race" It can be said that there is an era. People who are not far from cultures, arts, the music world, sports world, medicine world, etc. have jumped out to the world. From the everyday news, the shining appearance of Japanese seniors active all over the world is reported. However, it is still not enough. The world is seeking more excellent people. When tens of thousands of Japanese people who are welcomed, valued, and respected from the world appeared everywhere in the world, "Japanese of war and invasion" and "Japanese of economic and animal" became past and true As a member of the world, the international community will be greeted with sincere gratitude. I would like to raise a lot of children who can be active in the 21st-century world like this. This is the feeling which is pierced by AIS's management and all the operations. The site and school building of the school are self-owned belonging to the operating company NIP Corporation. In March 2006, a two-story school building with innovative Canadian log style with a courtyard set up in the site of about 300 tsubos was completed. The school has 12 classrooms, a book corner, a staff room, and a concert hall with stairs where various events are held. Although it is a small school building, various ideas are being devised so that children and children can have a fun school life. We are using overseas teaching materials and educational tools to create an international atmosphere. On the day of the open tour or reservation visit, we will set the date and time of the interview/measurement date directly or by telephone or email. Depending on the people coming from afar and circumstances, "Tour Day" and "Interview / Measurement Date" may be done on the same day. Documents required for admission application are as follows. Of these, please bring your application form directly with you the day before the interview/measurement date. Those who live far away or abroad can send by post or email. Parents and guardians need to be picked up and handed by parents. Elementary school entrance and exit for students without accompanying students require permission from parents. We offer a school lunch service by a caterer, but there is no cafeteria. For kindergartens and children, you choose to bring a school lunch or a boxed lunch (monthly). In our school, about 70% of classes are in English and 30% are in Japanese, and in principle time other than lessons with Japanese teachers is "English only". Even if it conforms to the international environment with a double curriculum, we are developing training contents and activities that are almost the same as those of Japanese elementary school students. For this reason, while maintaining the aim of "international people", there is no obstacle to entering middle and high schools in Japan, keeping "identity as Japanese". Regarding foreign children, AIS is not a typical "international school" but a school for Japanese students to provide bilingual education in their mother tongues and English, so Japanese students together with Japanese students I encourage you to participate in class teaching. However, if the degree of comprehension is insufficient, I encourage you to receive JaSL (Japanese as a second language) as support. Also, if you have been attending Japanese kindergarten / elementary school etc until now you can receive all Japanese language subjects as well as Japanese children, we are flexible!

Aichi Shukutoku University has been conducting volunteering activities, internships, and various other activities to learn with people from the regional community and work together with them. The university has also opened itself to the world, enthusiastically conducting international communication activities, including signing exchange agreements with many foreign universities and actively welcoming international students. The university would like to utilize this privileged environment and learn along with people from the region and the world to forge its strength to live on. Aichi Shukutoku University focuses on educating students on living with others and teaching them the "sturdiness" and "tenderness" to live independently as individuals in society. While cultivating the strength to independently pave their lives through their daily study and various experiences, students raise their consciousness for respecting others and taking pride in themselves. This educational philosophy has been inherited by all the general compulsory courses and introductory courses. We hope that this can be used as an opportunity for every student and society at large to find what they should be. The curriculum of the Aichi Shukutoku University has been organized in two pillars, including the practical skills useful in various fields in broader society and the invariable universal strengths needed no matter how times change. Students have various hopes toward what they learn, such as "learning about interesting things", "mastering skills useful in wider society", etc. Students can utilize the advantages offered by Aichi Shukutoku University as a comprehensive university for study, improving their level of expertise beyond their faculty specialties based on their interests. To respond to the relentless curiosity of students, we have started offering "open courses of other departments or faculties" that go beyond traditional faculty borders. Simultaneously, a "multiple specialties system" and a "multiple inception "systems have also been prepared. Also, there is a unique education system on offer called the "Hoshigaoka Campus Model," which enables students to learn courses that straddle the border between the culture communication department and the business department Hoshigaoka as a base. All these programs are conducted to boost students' motivation for learning. Study activities outside the university have also been conducted, including department courses, seminar studies, and general education practical experience subjects, such as volunteer activities, carried out together with the local community, internship training in companies, and studying abroad in other countries. While utilizing the knowledge and skills learned at university in broader society and seeking new study themes in society, students continue to develop their ability to act and learn independently. Students can study skills useful in broader society from general education, including language abilities such as English, Chinese, Korean, etc., computer skills, accounting, etc. There are also many courses compatible with various qualifications, such as teaching qualifications. Students can take courses based on the skills and abilities they wish to improve, making it possible to effectively develop the skills and abilities required by the industries and types of occupations they wish to pursue. Courses that cover the university's philosophy of "experiencing a world of differences", and "life design" getting students to discover what their calling is, as well as "Japanese expression" classes about the correct use of Japanese as required in larger society will be presented in the first year. We would like to improve students' desire to participate in various activities and for learning while molding them as human resources that can proactively move forward. View full university

Radical changes have ensued in the wake of ever more rapid globalization. In response, the university actively advocates “Connect with people and tie in with the world.” This means making frequent close face-to-face contact with people. Naturally, we reach out to people within Aichi Prefecture and Japan, but we also seek close ties with people worldwide. Working hand in hand with others, through knowledge and action, we can help make the world a better place in myriad small ways. Connect with people with different cultures and extend active links to localities across the globe. Rich cultural diversity exists both in Japan and in other parts of the world. In current times, marked by the rapid spread of nationalist sentiment, we urgently need to deepen mutual understanding through intercultural exchange. The year 2020 will witness several landmark events, including the Tokyo Olympic Games. Regarding this year as a milestone, the prefecture has formulated a policy known as Aichi Vision 2020. With the future in mind, during the six years starting 2018, we will lay the groundwork for deep and varied encounters with diverse cultures. To stimulate education: cooperation and collaborative research by the university’s five schools Cross-cultural exchange thrive in research and education. The university has connected research fields that had become compartmentalized and divided, and the five schools have joined to cooperate in collaborative research involving different disciplines. Rather than narrow collaborations of science with science, or literature with literature, now, in multi-disciplinary, multi-faceted studies, staff and students are fusing science and the humanities while working together to pursue an “anthropological approach to learning.” By studying about and inquiring into “life,” we take an “anthropological approach towards learning,” Through collaboration between the university’s five schools, we study about and inquire into “life.” Life is undoubtedly the one thing we all share as people, and it is granted equally to each of us. In Japan and overseas, the recognition of this fact is now under threat. To determine the reasons for this situation and find solutions for it, we have to face the challenge by intricately intertwining scientific, political, economic, cultural, and environmental studies. Aichi Prefectural University is steering the very practice of education and research in the direction of learning about life, that is to say, taking an “anthropological approach towards learning.” There are two campuses at Aichi Prefectural University. The “Nagakute Campus,” comprising the School of Foreign Studies, the School of Japanese Studies, the School of Education and Welfare, and the School of Information Science and Technology, is located in the hilly area overlooking Mt. Ontake in Kiso, beyond the mountain range of Seto. The “Moriyama Campus,” consisting of the School of Nursing and Health, is situated on Mt. Tougoku, where there is a fruit park famous for cherry blossom viewing, in the northeastern part of Nagoya City. Both campuses are located in landscaped areas, surrounded by fresh air and greenery. At these two sites, both undergraduate and graduate students and approximately 3,500 faculty members are always engaged in their studies. First-year students at the School of Nursing and Health are provided with lectures on the Nagakute campus. The modernized Aichi Prefectural University’s motto is “High-quality education, based on high-quality research.” Therefore, by not only building upon the traditions initiated by the Women’s Junior College and Aichi Prefectural Women’s College but by also taking advantage of offering both arts and science courses, Aichi Prefectural University now pursues academic education and research with the following vision: That, in the so-called “Knowledge-based society” of the 21st century, we aim to become a “Knowledge Hub,” where both researchers and students with a thirst for knowledge can enlighten one another. That, as a prefectural university meeting the growing demands for advanced education in an “Era of decentralization,” we will promote a high quality of education endorsed by quality research and will contribute to both regional and global communities through the accomplishments of our staff and students. That, focusing on realizing a “Developed co-existent society,” we intend to advance research, education, and regional partnerships, promoting the coexistence of nature, scientific technology, and people in diverse cultures of society. This vision comprises three priorities that are critical concerns for people inquiring about a human society living in the 21st century. View full university

Aichi University of the Arts was founded on April 1, 1966, to create a distinctive cultural sphere in the middle part of Japan, the Chubu Region. This foundation was responding to the Region's industrial economic growth centering in Aichi Prefecture. Additionally, the university's graduate school for a master's degree was established four years later, on April 1, 1970, to enrich culture and society through advanced, in-depth research for cultural theory and application. On April 1, 2009, the graduate school began to offer a doctoral program. The Aichi University of the Arts invites artists from around Japan and overseas to its campus as Artists in Residence to collaborate on educational, performance, and creative activities. By inviting various working artists (both individuals and groups), we aim to encourage exchanges with our faculty and students that will result in fresh educational and research perspectives and invigorate our campus. Commonly found in universities, museums, and orchestras in the West, such residence programs provide the invited artists with a place to explore their creative practice in new contexts. The residence artists give workshops and present or recite new ideas and works that differ significantly from the university's regular curriculum. A significant feature of our university's Artist-in-Residence Program has shared spaces for daily activities, which encourages close exchange among artists, faculty, and students. Created and run by the Center for Promoting Fine Arts and Music, the Artist-in-Residence Program contributes significantly to the university's medium-term plan core objectives of international exchange, strengthening partnerships with other educational organizations, and enhancement of cross-disciplinary education at the university. AUA has a duty as a lighthouse for arts. Various ships traverse the open sea of art, confirm their present location, and chart a course by referring to the lighthouse's beacon light. Some ships may sail east; some may sail West, some may soar up into the sky or dive in deep water. There is no correct and exact answer in art as many new forms of art may be born as the number of aspiring artists. AUA watches over the birth of new art as it is. While aiming to nurture the art of the highest international standard, AUA is expected to continue its efforts to broaden the base for the arts and increase the number of art fans. To meet this requirement, AUA must promote artistic exchange and collaboration with various fields. When art is nurtured to be the best and utilized for society, the stimulus of utilization deepens art in one aspect. Although new stimuli, like a double-edged sword, are also accompanied by pain, such as the nature of creation. Just as this is the case in all healthy activities of the society, art is no exception. Art is an ongoing adventure where there are no new ideas; there are no fresh and attractive musical performances or artworks. Let us have the encouragement to knock on new doors and accept new challenges. View full university

The Aichi Institute of Technology has its beginnings in the founding of the Nagoya Training School of Electricity in 1912 by Professor Takasaburou Goto, who saw that Japan was on the road to modernization and electricity would be the power source needed to drive it forward. AIT eventually opened in 1959 as the first college of technology in the Chubu region. Since then, it has provided a professional education not for a handful of elites but for the technicians and engineers that work on the corporate frontlines. Along the way, the university has undergone striking developments to keep pace with our changing times—adding to and enhancing its departments, faculties, research institutions, graduate school, and more. Since the Aichi Institute of Technology first opened its doors, we have offered students profound scholarship and sound technical skills based on our founding spirit of Freedom, Love, and Justice and our educational motto, Creation, and Humanity. We are committed to doing everything we can to push our academics and research forward to turn out competent professionals who also have character depth. Aichi Prefecture has become a teeming hub of monozukuri or Japanese craftsmanship. In recent years, and AIT is fulfilling its role as a comprehensive technical university in the region by enhancing the practical educational offerings that will develop human resources to make their mark on the world stage. As part of this endeavor, we offer language training programs in the US, New Zealand, and various other countries while promoting academic exchange programs with partner schools in China and elsewhere. We want to support technical education in Japan and Southeast Asia, and other parts of the world. AIT celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2009, while the Nagoya Electrical Educational Foundation marked one hundred years in 2012. Over the decades, the world we live in has undergone intense globalization and an increasing reliance on information and data. People’s values and daily lives have also changed significantly as science and technology have advanced at the same time; we are facing climate change and other environmental shifts, growing economic disparities, fewer children and an aging society, and a host of other challenges that cannot be solved with outdated systems or old ways of thinking. AIT is also working on setting up educational and research facilities that spark students’ curiosity and passion for learning. In April 2015, we built the New Building #2, complete with a Robot Museum. AIT faculty and staff are called upon to have the courage to press ahead and push our students forward, always encouraging them to take up the next challenge without fear of failure. We put our heart and soul into supporting students from every angle. View full university

Since its establishment in 1876 as a branch training center of Soto Zen Buddhism, Aichi Gakuin University (AGU) has produced graduates who can contribute to society. Over 130 years, it has been passing down the Buddhist spirit that emphasizes humanity. According to Zen teaching, our founding spirit is realized in the development of students' personality under the unity of learning and practice. This spirit also provides society with graduates capable of demonstrating gratitude towards all life in the world. Carrying forward this philosophy, AGU is about to turn a new page in its history. In 2013, the university will establish the Faculty of Economics. In 2014, Meijo Koen Campus will open a new campus in the center of Nagoya to offer students stimulating and inspiring academic experiences, promoting the synergy of partnerships between academia and industry. AGU is also engaged in enhancing and enriching the curriculum in all its departments. We will strive to provide more attractive learning opportunities in order to increase student motivation for learning. We will also do our utmost to support the self-realization of each student. We have always been committed to offering human education based on Zen teachings by engaging each student eye-to-eye in our effort to bring out their capabilities. As we enter into a new era, our sincere hope is that students will develop their full potential at AGU. The Philosophy of Aichi Gakuin: Unity of Learning and Practice: "Unity of Learning and Practice" refers to the teaching of Dogen Zenji, the founder of Soto Zen Buddhism, based on his own religious experience. The phrase means that practice (the formation of personality) and learning (the pursuit of truth) are not two different things but exist in unity. A Sense of Gratitude towards All Life in the World: Each one of us owes our life to our mutual interdependence with all other beings. In awareness of this debt and to repay it, we are obliged to devote ourselves to society. In light of this, AGU bases its education on the spirit of a sense of gratitude towards all life in the world. Being one of the largest universities in the Chubu area, Aichi Gakuin University has several schools and programs that cater to various learning needs. The Research Centers and Institutes represent the best of AGU's academic offerings. They pride themselves on their range of research achievements? from commissioned projects and research to joint studies, regional studies, and independent studies? The fruits of which are given back to society through public lectures, symposia, and various publications. In this time of rapid globalization, and ability in foreign languages to effectively communicate with people around the world and an in-depth understanding of other cultures are becoming all the more critical. In this light, AGU places a particular emphasis on education in English and other foreign languages and offers various international programs to develop in students a global perspective. We also engage in the cross-border exchange of teaching staff, international joint research projects, and other academic exchange modes. View full university
