5. Principle of Ichikawa Gakuen
Never stop learning; learn independently and actively!
Yonekichi Koga, the founder, was very much impressed by theeducational systems and guiding principles of public schools in thePrincipal: Shuji Oikawa

UK, which aim to educate each student and to enhance his or her abilities. These principles
have influenced the educational philosophy of our school which endeavors to promoteautonomous learning and independence in each student through what we call "the Third
Education." While "the First Education" comes from the family at home and "the Second
Education" from teachers at school, "the Third Education" is carried out by the students
themselves. Among the three, we emphasize "the Third Education" as the most importantelement for students to focus on.
