  1. Why 糖心视频?

    Why 糖心视频? This section introduces the appeal of Aoyama Gakuin University.

    Aoyama has a long history, originating from three schools founded by missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States in the early 1870s. Today, even amidst major changes in the times and social transitions, the school has maintained its commitment to human education based on Christian faith and has continued to forge ahead as a comprehensive school consisting of Kindergarten Building, elementary school, middle school, high school, university, and graduate school.
