Hamana Yamate Gakuin Educational Corporation will make a new start due to the merger of Hamana Gakuin Educational Corporation and Kobe Yamate Gakuen Educational Corporation in April 2020, and will celebrate its 4th anniversary in 2024.
Upon the merger, we newly established the "Hamana Yamate Academy Educational Mission" to encompass the educational activities of the entire academy.While respecting the founding spirit of the university and each school, the school as a whole strives to provide education that helps students develop and acquire basic skills that will enable them to continue learning throughout their lives in an ever-changing society. It is a statement that we will do so.
In addition, the universities and schools established by the academy are facing a difficult business environment including a declining population, and a new society is coming due to the progress of DX and globalization, and the current coronavirus pandemic has caused these social changes to occur. Although the pace of education is accelerating further, in order to respond appropriately to these trends, we are promoting reforms and developing unique educational activities that are rooted in the region.

History of Kobe Yamate Gakuen Educational Corporation

In the late Taisho period, Seizo Sugino, principal of Kobe City Yamate Elementary School, saw the coming of a new era and wanted to give girls the opportunity to receive a secondary education, so he established Yamate Gakushuin, the predecessor of our school, as a commemorative project to celebrate the marriage of Prince Higashinomiya (Emperor Showa) in 1924. Since then, the school has overcome many hardships, including the Great Hanshin Flood, war, and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and continues to uphold the founding spirit of "self-study and cultivating the emotions."
