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

Over the past 80 years, OIEI has continued to change and develop in response to the needs of society and the times. In the future, we aim to continue to provide society with the human resources it will need.

In 2009, OIEI celebrates its 80th anniversary. Formerly offering education exclusively for women under the name of Teikoku Educational Institution, OIEI is now coeducational and has grown into a comprehensive institution ranging from kindergarten to graduate school and embracing over 7,000 individuals. Based on our founding philosophy of educating the whole person, OIEI seeks to foster individuals with a global perspective, who embody our motto Global Mind.

We believe that each and every individual has the potential to grow. Self-respect and respect for others are paramount, and we aim to nurture individuals who understand the basis of what it is to be human and who can with certainty fulfill their potential in society. With these qualities, our graduates have the ability and confidence to live 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 34 partner institutions overseas. We actively welcome overseas students to our campuses and are aiming to become a leading “international institution” in Asia for students from abroad.

Kindergartners, pupils and students of OIEI believe in their own individuality and are strongly motivated to challenge themselves. Our mission, the raison d’être of OIEI, is to realize the full potential of each and every one of them.

To fulfill our mission, we require the support of people in the local community, society, and business. We ask for your continuing advice and warm encouragement; you will surely see good results from OIEI’s future endeavors.
