Seigakuin’s 100th Anniversary Covenant

In commemorating its 100th anniversary, Seigakuin University and Schools have from 2003 to 2006 sought to establish a sense of unity, recalling our educational mission and sharing our vision for the ensuing century. When we look at the present situation of Japan, the serious inner problems which long have been concealed by the outward recovery of the post-war period have surfaced and recently manifested themselves in the breakdown and corruption of both individuals and families, leaving the country faced with the burden of serious educational problems.

We believe that to confront these problems head on and to hold out hope for Japan’s future is the call of all mission schools. Consequently, Seigakuin University and Schools will organize as a covenantal community, called in the name of our God, to reach its educational goals and to accomplish its mission for the coming 100 years. We will carry on this mission together and strive to exhibit our Lord’s glory. We hereby solemnly bind ourselves to this covenant.
