With its foundation as a Catholic mission school, Seishin aims to provide education for everyone. With students entering our school from their first year of junior high, we offer a consistent and well-rounded education over six years until they graduate from high school. We always give careful consideration and respect to the abilities and aptitudes of each of our students in order to offer them the best possible counseling with regards to their future endeavors. Of the approximately ninety-five per cent of our students who express the desire to go on to further education, there is a great variety in the style of university entrance procedures (entrance exams, interviews, essays, etc.) in the institutions our students wish to enter. This has made us reorganize our curriculum to better suit the various needs our students have.
At our school, of course the third year high school students are given plenty of direct counseling but we are also putting efforts into giving suitable counseling for our first and second year high school students. For each grade level, there is a counseling study program, for either each homeroom class or for the grade as a whole, at least once in each of the three terms. During these sessions, students listen to a lecture or they hear the results of the most current research on furthering education in the country. These counseling study sessions exert a great influence on what path our students will choose for their future.

There are many books and magazines on colleges and universities in the Research Room. Some colleges and universities supply information on videos and the world wide web; therefore, the Research Room is equipped with television/VCRs, two photocopiers and some computers with internet access. This room makes it easier for students to find information about colleges and universities, especially with regards to their admissions procedures.
