Fiscal 2023

Annual Operating Plans

March 31, 2023

Sophia School Corporation

Introduction
Sophia School Corporation designed the Grand Layout 2.1 (GL2.1) and its Action Plan (AP) with a target
period from fiscal 2019 to 2023 as a mid- to long-term future vision relating to higher and secondary education
divisions and has been running each of its schools by creating and implementing operating plans every fiscal
year based on this.
However, owing to the necessity of dealing with the rapidly accelerating changes in the social landscapearising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the GL2.1 operation was terminated one year earlier than scheduled infiscal 2022, and a new mid- to long-term plan “Grand Layout 3.0 – Toward 2030 –” (GL3.0) with a target
period from fiscal 2023 to 2030 was formulated on this occasion.
With GL3.0, we have set various goals that we intend to achieve in each division by 2030, and we are precisely
outlining them in the “10 Commitments toward 2030.” As shown in these “Commitments,” even in this age ofremarkable innovations and business transformation including digitalization, green environment developments,and sustainability, Sophia School Corporation will adhere to its basic principles, with students, pupils, faculty,
and staff working together as one to steadily promote educational research, and aims to keep making
contributions to society and the local community.
The following FY2023 Operating Plans, which we thus announce, have been created as a one-year strategy
to be executed in the first year of GL3.0.
We would like to ask for your continued understanding and support for the various activities of each of ourschools in the areas of education, research, and social contribution.

Sophia School Corporation’s long-term strategy Grand Layout 3.0 - Toward 2030 Basic concept

Fiscal Year 2023 Basic Budget Planning Policies【Basic Planning Policies】

An optimal distribution of limited financial resources (budgeting) is required to address and promote
the main goals proposed in “Sophia School Corporation Grand Layout”.
The present situation faces new issues that have major financial impact, such as developing new
education and research activities based on the Grand Layout main goals, maintaining, and improving
the education and research environment according to the campus renovation plan. To optimize thebudget under such circumstances, we need to assess the appropriateness of new programs, strictly
reexamine once again the existing projects and their budgets, draw up and execute a proper, equitable
and minimum budget regardless of vested interests, precedents, or conventions.
As is the case with all school corporations, Sophia has pressing issues of keeping the balance of income
and expenditure and of strengthening the financial soundness further. Achieving goals for such issues on
one hand and securing sufficient budget provisions for advanced education and research on the other may
be no easy equation to solve, but we need to make the best efforts to find effective solutions and promote
specific initiatives to achieve both.
All members at Sophia need to share the common understanding of the following points as basic policy toplan the budget for the next fiscal year.
1. Budget planning based on activity plans and appropriate budget execution
All members of the faculty and staff shall firmly re-acknowledge the significance of understanding themain goals and financial conditions of Sophia School Corporation, planning appropriate budget inaccordance with specific activity plans, and properly executing the budget financed by tuition and feesand ordinary expenses subsidy.
For executing the budget, all transactions, regardless of the amount, should be handled strictly
according to relevant rules, economic efficiency, and effectiveness.
2. Budget priority for important agenda
Budget distribution will be prioritized in areas of education and research activities and infrastructuredevelopment that are related to the main goals proposed in the “Sophia School Corporation Grand
Layout.”3. Realization of balanced budget
In order to maintain a balanced budget, efficiency will be fully pursued through thorough review ofoperations of each accounting unit: Additionally, concrete action plans must be introduced specificallyfocusing on the financially unsustainable operations, while further promoting measures for increasing
income and decreasing expenses.
4. Cost reduction and achievement of maximum effect with minimum budget
In order to support new important initiatives in education and research, all existing projects will be
reviewed “without exceptions” for efficient prioritization. Further efforts will be made for the effective
use of limited budget and reduction of regular expenses, and new ideas will be encouraged to exert
greater effects with fewer budgets.
5. Optimalization of Personnel Expenses
Efforts will be made to optimize personnel expenses by promoting the “selection” and “concentration”
of business and implementing streamlining in operations.
6. Securing Tuition and fees.
We are facing difficult times of MEXT taking stricter control of admission quota, and apparent decliningof 18-year-old population. Securing stable income of Tuition and fees, the basic financial resource will
be one of our main goals.
7. Efforts to actively pursue external funds
We will make every effort to acquire external funds with the basic principle of securing our own
financial resources for new and current activities.

8. Performance evaluation of University Research Fund System and optimization
University Research Fund system will be reviewed, and operational improvement made based on theactual state of the use of the research fund system and on the dissemination of research results achieved
as part of the PDCA cycle of research activities, and evaluation results of Research Evaluation
Committee (kenkyu hyoka iinkai).
9. Management accounting by division and by purpose of use to promote Selection andConcentration
Management accounting by division and by purpose of use and appropriate evaluation and review
are carried out regularly for implementation of “selection and concentration” process necessary toestablish a stable financial base and adequately carry out the Main Goals stated in the “Sophia School
Corporation Grand Layout” To this end, we will continue to establish a budget frame for each divisionand purpose of use.
