Keisen's educational spirit and brief history

In a difficult time just before the Second World War started, Ms. KAWAI Michi founded Keisen School for young women in 1929 on the basis of unique educational spirit which was composed of three interrelated factors, Christianity, Horticulture and International Understanding (Peace Studies). Actively following this educational spirit, Keisen University was established in 1988 at Tama, Tokyo. At present, the University has two faculties, the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Human and Social Studies with some 1,000 students. All Keisen students study Christianity, Horticulture and Peace Studies as compulsory, introductory subjects in their first year.
