Head of Schools Message
Prof. Tatsushi Mayama
At Doshisha International Academy (DIA), our educational philosophy is “Christianity,” “Liberalism,” and “Internationalism,” which are advocated by Doshisha.
We practice “Conscience Education,” which is the school's founding spirit. Students will acquire the skills necessary for global society while experiencing not only language, but also a wide range of cultures, knowledge, and ways of thinking. DIA has both an elementary school and an international school on one campus creating a unique and culturally diverse learning environment. As an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) school, DIA offers high quality programmes of education, which support development of knowledgeable and inquiring students.
Our goal is for students to be able to engage with people in a globalized and rapidly changing world. We also aim to improve critical thinking and inquiry-based learning skills. We live in an era of diversity where we accept ourselves as well as others and where we coexist with AI (Artificial Intelligence). We must foster the ability to determine the essence of things from a broad perspective while making not only ourselves, but everyone happy, and lead our lives with a sense of purpose.
