Keio University

Affiliated Schools (Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High Schools)

The consistent goal of Keio University's elementary, junior high, and senior high schools is to provide opportunities for students to discover and develop their own abilities and aptitudes in a manner appropriate for each stage of their lives. By respecting 'diversity within unity,' each school, while founded on the basic principles of Keio University, maintains its own unique policies and school culture to cultivate a wide variety of talented individuals.

This is a diagram showing the educational system of Keio University (a chart of the progression through the affiliated schools).
