In 1912, Ohashi Kindergarten was established in Tokyo’s Nihonbashi. This was followed eight years later by the opening of Ohashi Girls’ High School. The schools moved to Kita Ward in 1922, under the new name of Musashino Girl’s High School. The school gradually grew to incorporate a junior high school in 1948, and 33 years later established Musashino Junior College in Sayama, Saitama Prefecture.

The following year, a kindergarten was also opened in Sayama, attached to the Junior College’s Preschool Education Department. A Liberal Arts Department was realized in 1991. Then, 92 years after its very first enrollment, Musashino Gakuin established its university in Sayama. Our Graduate School was officially accredited by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in November 2007 and is now accepting enrollments.

Therefore, in addition to our university, Musashino Gakuin is currently comprised of:

Musashino Junior College Kindergarten
Opened in 1982, the Junior College Kindergarten is a 5 minute walk from the university campus. Whilst operating as a kindergarten, it also plays an important role in the practical training of junior college students and their early childhood studies.

Musashino Junior High and High School
The Junior High and High schoool is located in Nishigahara, Kita Ward. Remaining proud of its long history as a girl’s school, it became co-educational in 2004. Performing strongly in various sports, with its swim team achieving national success several times, it is also the former school of the 2004 Olympic Women’s Wrestling bronze medal winner, Kyoko Hamaguchi.

Musashino Gakuin Junior College
Founded in 1981, this junior college attracts female students who aspire to become tomorrow’s kindergarten teachers. A curriculum centered on practical training, including a short-term study trip to Australia, is the secret behind the high recruitment rate of its graduates.
