WICS is located in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo. We aim to cultivate young men and women of this generation by providing our students with courses based on biblical values. They will learn to be contributing members of society where they will identify themselves as Christian, glorify God, and have positive impacts on humanity.
Throughout human history, education has been one of the most important issues in society. In Japan, a high truancy rate, bullying, and collapse of order in classes have become areas of concern. Meanwhile in Korea, a distrust of public education has led to excessive private education, and many students study abroad at an early age. These educational concerns result in serious issues within society, such as difficulty developing character through education, collapse of family structure, and a widening gap between the rich and the poor.
Because these problems are getting worse year after year, it is an urgent task to train young people to have moral values, intellect, and integrity based on biblical principles. Tokyo Waseda International Christian School was founded to address these needs, to glorify God, and to cultivate talents that would positively impact the lives of as many people as possible. |
