 Kwansei Gakuin was founded on September 28, 1889 in Harada-no-mori, Kobe. The School of Theology and the School of General Studies were established at the time of its founding, and the School of General Studies is the root of the current High School.
 The goal of Kwansei Gakuin is for all who gather here to spend their lives studying to become "world citizens who embody 'Mastery for Service'".  Since its founding by Professor Rambus, who served as a missionary throughout the world, Kwansei Gakuin has also had the mission of being an internationally open school. Since its establishment in 1948 as a new upper secondary school, Kwansei Gakuin High School has continued to emphasize "freedom" and "autonomy" with the goal of fostering a sense of mission and ability to serve others and the world through Christianity, and to cultivate a character with a rich heart and a sincere attitude.
 Kwansei Gakuin High School is a school where students can pursue their potential to the fullest, supported by a recommendation system to Kwansei Gakuin University, during the most impressionable years of their lives as high school students. Kwansei Gakuin High School offers an environment where students can gain valuable experience and challenge themselves in a variety of ways. You will be exposed to different values and encounter "treasures and gifts" in various situations.In KGHS, students are expected to think and act independently at all times in the spirit of freedom. You will face the small questions that have sprouted within you and pursue the answers to them. Even if you do not find the answer during your high school years, it will not be in vain, and your pursuit will certainly lead to personal growth.  Study in KGHS is not merely for the sake of academic knowledge, but eventually becomes wisdom, and leads to finding one's own career path and "way of life". The friends you make here will become your friends for life.
 We hope that you will study together at Kwansei Gakuin High School, cultivate a rich sense of humanity, and develop the "a zest for life" that will carry you through your future lives.
