Nanzan University

Education has always been a high priority for the Divine Word Missionaries, and this is reflected in the Japan Province in the many schools it runs. They cover the whole range: Kindergartens, Grade Schools, Junior and Senior High Schools, Junior College and University. With the aim of contributing to the formation of a society in which all persons are fully respected, the guiding motto taken by the schools is Hominis Dignitati For Human Dignity.

Furthermore, the Institute for Religion and Culture within Nanzan University, through research and active dialogue makes a valuable contribution to promoting mutual understanding between the different religions. An area of research that has been promoted by the SVD from the beginning is also represented in Nanzan's Institute of Anthropology.
