Jissen Women’s Educational Institute in Today’s Changing Society
Jissen Women's Educational Institute was founded in 1899 by Utako Shimoda, a pioneer in modern women's education who believed that women could change society and the world. Jissen has developed into an institution with a comprehensive education system for girls and women from junior high school to graduate school. It has produced over 170,000 graduates to date.
Due to rapid societal changes, the educational environment has undergone significant changes in recent years. However, we remain committed to creating an education suitable for the demands of the time while upholding our founder's vision of cultivating dignified, independent women.
Our 120 years of history and tradition serve as a foundation as we look toward our 130th and 140th anniversaries, continually striving to provide a transformational experience for all students at Jissen Women's Educational Institute.
