A MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN OF TOMEIKAN GAKUEN
Takashi A*o, Ph.D. At TOMEIKAN not only do we strive to gain respect from students, but also aim to be respected as a top high school in the region. TOMEIKAN GAKUEN is a campus where the focus is on developing the character of each individual, all so important for a successful future as we enter the 21th century. I am certain that the best way to develop strong character is to appreciate the help and support of those around you. There are four kinds of appreciation that we should have. I call them "SHI-ON". They are the feelings of appreciation for "Parents and Ancestors", "Teachers", "Country and Society", and "The Gods and Buddha". And what is more, study hard with the mind of "kougaku-aichi, jiritsu-jikei " (Love of study, intelligence and clear judgement). A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL OF TOMEIKAN Jr. ＆ Sr. HIGH SCHOOL
Futoshi Mori
Tomeikan with the motto of “AIM AT THE TOP”, based on the philosophies of “integrated secondary education system”, “elite education”, “co-education”, and “respect for students’ personalities”, has been making steady progress as an academic-oriented school. Our school name “Tomeikan” is derived from a hankou or a fief school, which was established by Tsushima Fief about 200 years ago. The school owed its educational backbone to Hirose Tanso, a Confucian scholar of the Edo period. He came to teach at Tomeikan as well as presiding over his private school called “Kangien” in Bungo-Hita (present Hita City in Oita prefecture). He was far ahead of the time in that he thought highly of respect for students’ personalities, initiative, and co-education. Our present school precepts, “Kogaku-aichi” or love of learning and wisdom, and “jiritsu-jikei” or self-discipline and self-fulfillment summarize his ideas. In other words, they mean that each student should try to achieve their goals on their own and tackle problems courageously. Our campus is full of young energy. The students are taking part in extracurricular activities made up of eight sports clubs and twelve cultural ones. Speech and broadcasting clubs, among others, are regular finals in the nationwide contests. Baseball, soccer, volleyball, and basketball clubs are also enthusiastic. It is not only their body that our students train. We offer our students several programs in order to help them grow up to be well-balanced individuals. The programs include school trip to Singapore and Europe, homestay program in Australia, lectures and special lessons by leading scholars and intellectuals. We also encourage our students to read a lot and to write essays so that they can develop clear and critical thinking abilities. Taking advantage of “integrated secondary education system”, this encouragement bears fruit as “graduation thesis” written by third-year students of junior high school. We have remarkably succeeded in sending our graduates to universities and colleges. In spite of the relatively small number of students of 190 per year, this year 96 students passed entrance examinations for national and public universities and 293 for private universities. Especially, the number of students who passed for schools of medicine, dentistry, and pharmacology reached as many as 117, including 62 for medicine. Our students are leading a busy life actively involved in a variety of activities on campus. Please feel free to visit our school standing on a hill. Our white school buildings nestling in a magnificent natural beauty will never fail to welcome you. We’re looking forward to meeting you. Tomeikan, a school and a family. First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Hormozd Mehrrostami. I am 51 years old. 25 years ago, I came to Japan from Vancouver in Canada and since then I have been teaching English. During these years. I have learned many things about Japan. Especially about Japanese people and Japanese culture. I joined Tomeikan Junior and Senior High School 13 years ago as an English teacher. To the 1st graders in junior high school. I teach one hour of English conversation and one hour of Z-kai English course. To the 2nd and 3rd graders in junior high school. I teach English conversation. To the 1st graders in high school. I teach OC-B and to the 3rd graders in high school. I teach English composition for the university entrance examinations. Now let me tell you about our school Tomeikan. At present our school is one of the leading schools in Kyushu and I am sure in the next five years our school will be one of the top schools all over Japan. Tomeikan was the name of a famous school in the 19th century which was led by a very well-known teacher, Mr. His spiritual and moral teaching are one of the important bases for our school. What we teach our students is not just the content of the text books, but the principle how to behave themselves for the future. We teach them how to be a person who cares, a person who challenges new things, a person who makes chances, a person who can reach dreams and a person who will lead Japan in the 21st century. Our Tomeikan is not only a school, but also a family. History of Tomeikan
"We have succeeded to educational policies of Tanso Hirose." School name Tomeikan has a long histor. It is founded two hundred years ago, when the teachings of Chu-tzu (Shushi-gaku) were accredited by the government. In 1792, Yoshikatsu So, the lord of Tsushima-Clan, following the educational policies of the government at that time, founded a cram school, our school's ancestor, at Tashiro Dominion. Tashiron Dominion, the northeastern part of Tosu and Kiyama-cho, was governed by Tsushima Clan. That area, bounded on Chikuzen (Fukuoka), Chikugo (Kurume) and Hizen (Saga), was suitable for education. It was in 1800 that the cram school was named Tomeikan and its buildings were school house was buit. In 1855, Tomeikan was moved to Tashiro-sh*ta-machi and opened as an institution of both literary and military arts. The officer addressed the opening ceremony: "Learning is life-long work. The aim of education is to bring up practical persons who are needed to the day and of to the nation."---which is one of our educational policies. Tanso Horose, a Confucian scholar living in Bungo-Hita (Oita Prefecture), presided over his cram school, Kangi-en, and started teaching at Tomeikan in 1829. He set the new tone of the school and improved it both in name and in reality. He carried out his principle about education, developed his students' own individuality, and cultivated their aesthetic sentiments by teaching Chinese poetry. The students at Tomeikan were willing to study, think for themselves, and ask their teachers their own questions. They were also expected to pass difficult examinations to be promoted. Some of them lived in the dormitory which was available for those who came from far away. All of his educational policies have been handed down to our school, Tomeikan Junior and Senior High School. Educational policy of Tomeikan
Our school was built at the foot of Kizan hill, which stands on the border between Fukuoka ＆ Saga Prefecture, and named Tomeikan after the old school of the Tsushima Clan. The old school followed the motto of Kangien, where Tanso Hirose (a well known scholar) educated every student equally to develop their personality. Our school also follows this motto and aims to encourage the young talents to be useful for the development of society. Tanso Hirise's educational idea of Kangien and Tomeikan, was that learning was our lifelong work and that children must be educated our to be practical and useful for society and to be able to adapt themselves to the times. It is our school motto to learn willingly and have autonomy. Appreciation for the four obligations (1: Obligation to our parents. 2: Obligation to our teachers. 3: Obligation to our country and society. Obligation to the Supreme Being) is the bare bones of humanity. Our school's policy is based on learning willingly and we will make the consecutive education of junior and senior high school. Our aim is to train our students physically and mentally so that they can learn various stature or ability, and to develop their personality and sociality individually. Moreover, we will make our students the creative people who can adapt themselves to the varied international society and can achieve their goal by themselves all their lives. Respect for personality
Our campus is full of natural beauty and the ideal place to learn the young sensibility, personality and strong sentiment.
