Keio Chutobu Junior High School, Educational institution in Minato-ku, Japan
Keio Chutobu Junior High School is a middle school in Minato-ku, located at 2-17-10 Mita. The modern building houses classrooms, gymnasiums and common areas for learning activities.
The school opened in 1947 as the first coeducational middle school within the Keio education system, during Japan's postwar education reforms. This shift aligned with new guidelines for a more democratic school structure.
The institution follows principles established by Yukichi Fukuzawa, who believed education should develop both intellect and character in young people. This approach shapes daily lessons and student behavior throughout the campus.
Visitors can access the grounds only during school hours and with prior arrangement, as it functions as an active education facility. The entrance faces the main street and is within walking distance from Mita Station.
The institution uses few prohibitions to encourage independence and personal responsibility among students. This educational approach differs from many other schools in Tokyo.
