Rikkyo University

Rikkyo
 
Rikkyo University started in 1874 as Rikkyo School, a small private school teaching English and Bible studies in the foreign settlement in Tsukiji, Tokyo. The School was founded by Bishop Channing Moore Williams, a missionary dispatched from the American Episcopal Church. Nearly 142 years later, Rikkyo University today still retains its tradition of education modeled on the Western traditional liberal arts college. Based on the founding principle of “Pro Deo etPatria” (For God and Nation), the University offers education based upon humanistic values and Christian concern for others.
