Sōtoku Academy, Private combined junior and senior high school in Hiroshima, Japan.
Sōtoku Academy is a private educational institution in Hiroshima with separate junior and senior high school programs. The school offers different learning pathways to serve students with varying abilities and goals.
The academy was founded in 1951 as Hiroshima recovered from the effects of war and new schools were being rebuilt. Its establishment came when Japan was restructuring its education system and prioritizing quality instruction.
The school embodies an educational philosophy built on four pillars: health, sincerity, diligence, and gratitude. These values shape daily life at the academy and influence how students interact with each other and teachers.
The school is located in the Nishi-ku district and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should contact the school in advance since access to facilities may be restricted during school hours.
The academy offers a six-year integrated program that allows students to progress from junior to senior high without changing schools. This continuous model enables teachers to build long-term relationships with students and follow their development over many years.
