Hello, and thank you for visiting the official website of Osaka International Educational Institution (OIEI).

In 2009, OIEI celebrated its 80th anniversary, and on the historical foundations built by our predecessors, we continue to make steady progress. Formerly providing education exclusively for women under the name of Teikoku Educational Institution, the renamed OIEI is now coeducational and has become a comprehensive institution from kindergarten to graduate school embracing over 6,000 individuals. Based on our founding mission to educate the whole person, OIEI seeks to foster individuals with a global perspective, who embody our motto, Global Mind.

We at OIEI believe that each and every individual has the potential to grow. We value self-respect and respect for others, and we aim to foster individuals who understand the basis of what it is to be human and who can with certainty fulfill their potential in society. This, in turn, gives them the ability to live with confidence in international society.

For students to acquire an international perspective, we begin early through exchanges between our junior and senior high schools and sister schools overseas. At university level, we have 38 partner institutions overseas. With further enrichment of our system for accepting overseas students and promotion of reciprocal exchanges of students and staff, we aim to fulfill our role as an educational body fostering truly international people and to become a leading international institution in Asia.

The kindergarteners, pupils and students of OIEI believe in their individuality and are eager to face challenges. We consider that the mission of an educational institution is to bring to fruition the potential of each and every individual, and that this is the raison d’être of OIEI.

To fulfill our mission, we must secure the understanding of people in the local community, society at large, and industry. We shall be grateful for your continued encouragement.
