Request for Donations and Cooperation
Kyushu Lutheran School, which began as Kyushu Jogakuin in 1926, will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026. We would like to take this opportunity to commemorate the occasion and further enhance our educational environment and programs. For this purpose, we have decided to seek donations from the general public.
The school was established by women of the Lutheran Church in the U.S., who prayed and raised funds to found a Christian-based school for girls in Japan. In 1926, the school opened with a small class of 70 students under the motto “Gratitude and Service.” After becoming co-educational in 2001, it has grown into a comprehensive educational institution, including a nursery school, kindergarten, junior high school, high school, college, and graduate school.
The school provides Christian-based character education that values each and every student. Building on this foundation, we promote the development of well-rounded individuals with strong academic abilities, respect for individuality, excellence in the arts and sports, and global competencies—an effort reflected in our long-standing commitment to the idea that “Kyushu Lutheran School Means English.”
This progress has been made possible through the thoughts, prayers, and generous support of many people. As we approach our centennial year, the opening of our International Primary School Division in April 2024 marks an exciting new step. We are determined to nurture globally minded individuals and to become a truly comprehensive educational institution in both name and reality.
We kindly ask for your support and cooperation in our fundraising efforts for the 100th anniversary in 2026—a year we see as a milestone for future growth and transformation.
