Our aim is to encourage students to cultivate wisdom for the creation of culture in the 21st century and give them the capability to produce culture and art.
The ability to carve out a path to the next era depends upon the ability to create culture and art. In today's world, the type of people who are sought are those who understand art and culture, and who can strategically produce and manage these fields. In this school, students study various social science courses, such as cultural policy and management (policy management area), which affect workplaces in the of culture and art fields; various courses for a comprehensive understanding of art/culture and society (cultural area); and various courses on thought and information (perspective area), which form the backbone of the program. At the same time, students obtain a feel for actual workplaces, mainly through the Aoyama Community Laboratory (ACL). Empirical knowledge gained does not end there; rather, students position themselves in three academic fields and further obtain the ability to apply them with deep insight. This is what makes our school unique. Furthermore, in order to help students determine their future careers, we have established three courses that act as navigational models for choosing which courses to take afterward. We have also enhanced our own English education program to incorporate a global perspective.
