Purpose of Keio Gijuku



A manifesto brush-written by the founder of Keio, YUKICHI FUKUZAWA, on the educational goal of Keio.
In this, Fukuzawa stressed that Keio should not be merely a school limited to academic pursuits, but it should be a place for enhancing total human assets in individual students.
This attitude of Fukuzawa toward education about one century ago is still regarded as the ideal of education in Keio.


History




Keio Senior High School was established in post-war turmoil of 1948. The campus was first in Tokyo and moved to the present site in Yokohama in 1949.
Keio Senior High School is part of the Keio educational complex, which includes an elementary school, three junior high schools, four senior high schools and a university at the apex. Keio Senior High School is one of the three senior high schools in this complex. This whole educational organization of Keio is the oldest private institution existing in Japan. It was founded by Yukichi Fukuzawa in 1858 in Tokyo as a private Dutch language school. Dutch was the primary foreign language in Japan at that time, but before long, English took its place. Fukuzawa, however, was not only a foreign language teacher but a great author who wrote several influential books on western ideas and society, some of which are still today, more than one hundred years after, read and discussed. He was a great advocate of western civilization and ideas in his life time. Fukuzawa set an important basis on which Keio education has been growing ever since. His fundamental idea was strong belief in human development in each individual person.

No man is created above, or below his fellow man.

This message by Fukuzawa is as significant today to the heart of many Japanese people as it was sensational in the feudal society of Japan a century ago. This idea of Fukuzawa was at the basis when Keio Senior High School was established. Its primary educational ideal is to bring up students with independence and self-respect.
