Seifunankai Gakuen Junior and Senior High School, Private combined junior and senior high school in Takaishi, Japan
Seifunankai Gakuen is a combined junior and senior high school in Takaishi with modern campus buildings and specialized science floors. Laboratories are equipped for students to conduct hands-on experiments and research projects throughout their studies.
Founded in 1963 as Nankai Railway High School, the school initially served as a corporate education facility for Nankai Electric Railway employees. Over time it transformed into an independent institution with Buddhist educational principles.
Students gather each morning to recite the Heart Sutra, a practice that shows the school's connection to Buddhist teaching and values.
The school sits five minutes on foot from Kitasukematsu Station on the Nankai Main Line, making it easy to reach by train. Dedicated school buses also serve students who need alternative transportation options.
Second-year junior high students take part in a combined hiking expedition to Mount Fuji and a campus visit to the University of Tokyo. This program gives young students a chance to experience both mountain climbing and higher education in one trip.
