Fuji Gakuen originates as Sapporo Fuji Girls’ High School was founded by Rev. Wenzeslaus Kinold, OFM, in 1925, with the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr St.George from Germany.

Due to the educational system reformation after World War II, our school changed its form to Fuji Girls’ Junior High School and Fuji Girls’  Senior High School.   Also, to restore the fundamental needs of society, especially educational work, Fuji Women’s Professional School was founded, and then it was transformed into the Fuji Women’s Junior College.    Gradually Japanese society changed to answer the need for women with higher education, and Fuji Women’s College started in 1961 as the first 4-year college for women in Hokkaido.  Fuji Women's Junior College and Fuji Women's College were founded to train intellectually educated professional women. 

Meanwhile, the Franciscan Sisters of the Missionaries of Mary were dispatched to Sapporo in 1908 and began medical treatment, and in 1911 they opened Tenshi Hospital, making pioneering contributions to medical care in Hokkaido. At the same time that Fuji Gakuen began to offer higher education, this religious order established Tenshi Gakuen, to begin nursing and nutritional education at vocational school and then junior college. Then, in the meantime, the Tenshi Gakuen was separated from the religious order and opened a four-year College in 2000.  It has been training highly specialized professionals, with its Catholic identity.

These two Catholic Educational Corporations, Fuji Gakuen and Tenshi Gakuen, were unified on April 1, 2024, to become Fuji-Tenshi Educational Corporation. We offer education based on the Catholic identity and do our best to provide early childhood, secondary, and higher education with the Christian view of humanity that each person is a being loved by God.

Our Corporation will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025.  As we move toward the future, we remember the educational dedication of our predecessors who have devoted themselves to our schools since the foundation of the present. 
We educate people who will live in the world of the 21st century.  Our Mission Statement is " Through Love To The Truth." We encourage young people to contribute to the well-being of others, commit themselves to the peaceful world with high intelligence and open minds, and finally reach the Truth, our Goal.
