Our school is full of fun
Coming to school should never be "painful."
Everyone should look forward to school. "Yeah! We have school tomorrow!" This is what school should be like.
Tokiwagi Gakuen has a very low rate of quitting school,（national average 1.5%, prefectural average 1.8%, our school 0.47%. Survey by MEXT in 2015）
and more than 30 percent of our students come to school every day, without being late or going home early. Surely this is evidence that our school is full of fun.
Lessons are interesting
We focus on establishing fundamental academic abilities, building on them, and nurturing critical thinking skills,
all of which stem from the enthusiasm of our teachers.
Our classes foster a solid sense of "I can do it" and "I understand." We believe this is important.
The fact that almost all of our students improve their standard deviation scores significantly after entering our school and achieve rewarding careers shows how interesting and understandable our lessons are.
We do not use time allocated for club activities for studying, and we do not recruit honor students to boost university enrollment outcome.
We believe in the possibilities of each student, and instruct them conscientiously. This produces steady results.
History of Tokiwagi Gakuen
The school was founded by Yoshihiro and Mitsu Matsura at Motoyanagi-cho in Sendai City in 1928 as Tokiwagi Gakuen Girls' High School and a graduate program was affiliated.
They founded the school aiming at nurturing people who can be depended upon the next generation by settling all their assets such as Matsura Bank and other companies.
They incorporated a whole new education system to enhance individuality by putting emphasis especially on art education, which was lacking in Japan at that time.
It was a very unique school which created a free-time system in which the students can choose freely from more than 30 courses.
