Teikyo University's Educational Guidelines are "Practical learning," "International perspectives," and "Open mindedness" but we believe we must remain sensitive to the changing times. What kind of "Practical learning" should Teikyo University be striving for now? What kind of re-education model should we build for working adults in this age of lifelong education? What kind of faculty should we have to meet these needs? It is important to continue to consider how to incorporate these Educational Guidelines into our educational programs.
There are institutions within the university that are revising the university's educational curriculum, but Okinaga Research Institute of Teikyo University intends to reexamine "Practical learning," "International perspectives," and "Open mindedness" from a more objective and broad perspective. Taking advantage of the advantages of being a compact institution, we are not afraid of challenges and would like to steadily feed back positive ideas to the university.

Practical Lab

Based at the easily accessible Kasumigaseki Campus, we give back the diverse knowledge of Teikyo University to society and provide a place of learning for many people.

*Vocational training for working adults ended in 2024.

ClassQ
At Hachioji Campus, we offer a course called "Sharpening Your Questioning Skills," which uses the morning newspaper as teaching material to cultivate students who can ask questions and learn independently. We also conduct extracurricular events and projects planned and managed primarily by the students themselves. In the "Forestry Project," we aim to reconstruct the national landscape by regenerating neglected forests and creating forests that will bring smiles to people's faces.
