Sacred Heart School

Sacred Heart School is a private girls school in Shirokane with separate divisions for elementary, junior high, and high school. The campus blends traditional Japanese architecture with modern classrooms, laboratories, and recreational facilities.

The school was founded in 1908 when Sacred Heart sisters arrived in Japan and established their educational approach based on the teachings of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat. A notable chapel building was completed in 1928 by architect Antonin Raymond.

Students participate in the annual Mikokoro Festival, organizing performances, games, and food stalls that demonstrate their academic and artistic achievements.

The school operates on a three-stage education system organized in four-year phases to support age-appropriate learning. Visitors should note this is an active school campus where access may be limited to certain areas or times.

The campus features Duchesne Hall, a modern building designed by the renowned architect Tadao Ando. This structure shows how contemporary design connects with Japanese architectural traditions.
