Inheriting the spirit of Saint Julie Billiart, we have focused on the school motto "Make your heart pure and be charitable," and are trying to mold modest and confident women with a commitment to God and service to others. Women's roles have become even more important in today's society. Students are given the opportunity to study Christian ethics and the Bible. Original school events are also held. Exchanges between foreign countries and our school are becoming more and more numerous. English conversation classes are given by native English teachers. During school life, through studies as well as extracurricular activities, we are making every effort to mold virtuous, promising women who have open mind and solid moral education.

"Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you."(MATTHEW 7:7) Prayers offered from the depth of our heart are sure to be realized. Let us spread the wings of our dreams and hope. Let each one of us develop curious God-given talents into full bloom and may our students become people with charitable hearts, bringing happiness to our society.
