Vision/Mission
Our founding principles are: “ the cultivation of scholarship and professional skills”, “the development of a spirit of appreciation” and “to persevere on the quest for excellence”. We stress the following sentiments: “ Do everything with heart; be a person of iron will; and see everything through to the end”. This is the Bunri Educational Policy. These words embody our wish that our students will always work hard in order to gain new knowledge, skills and technological learning backed by respect for humanity.
Bunri Schools teach the students to aim high by cultivating intelligence and emphasizing morality, while showing respect for both freedom and discipline, training both the mind and the body. We encourage fairness and integrity. We are also dedicated to training our students to be true ladies and gentlemen people with compassionate hearts, ready to serve their society and humanity. This is because we hope they will become the leaders who will serve not only the Japanese community but the global society as well.
