Joran Dormitory

The school maintains a student dormitory for those students who come to study far away from their homes.

The student dormitory can be used by any student of Shokei University or Shokei University Junior College. Through communal life, strong friendships can be formed and both younger and older students can become more familiar with each other. Living in the student dormitory gives the opportunity for students to create precious memories for life.

Shokei University Junior College attached kindergarten

The attached kindergarten was established as an annexed kindergarten in 1969, and in 2016 was changed to a Kindergarten and Childcare Center Authorized Institution. The objective of the institution is to “have children develop harmoniously both mentally and physically through experiences enriched by the natural environment and healthy daily routines, to nurture their spirit of self-reliance, and cultivate their robustness, sensitivity, and morals.” Based on this objective, we work hard so that each and every child, within a wide range of ages, can grow in line with the ideals aimed for by this institution. Everyday the energetic voices of many of the 300 children, aged 0 to 6, echo throughout the institution.

The ideal children aimed for by the institution

  • Children that lively and energetically play within a nature-rich environment
  • Children that express themselves honestly
  • Children that are considerate towards others and social
  • Children that abound in creativity and spirit
  • Children that invent ways to play and that take action
