【Birth Year】1874
Aoyama Gakuin traces its origin to three Sch. founded by missionaries sent from the American Methodist Episcopal Church. One of the schools was the Girls' Elementary Sch. opened in Azabu in 1874. The school was later named Kyusei Girls' Sch., and then once again renamed the Kaigan Girls' Sch. in 1877 when it was relocated to Akashicho, where the school flourished. The other two schools were the Kokyo Gakusha Boys' Sch. opened in Tsukiji in 1878 and the Methodist Mission Seminary opened in Yokohama in 1879. These two schools were later integrated into Aoyama Gakuin and moved to Aoyama. Relocation of the Kaigan Girls' Sch. to Aoyama began in 1888 where it was eventually integrated into Aoyama Gakuin.
