Shiritsu Seirei Gakuen

##◻︎Seirei Gakuen (Private Seirei Academy)

◻︎Name and Establishment Type
•Seirei Gakuen is an all-boys integrated school, from junior high to university. The high school is a full boarding school for boys, and the university is known as a rare all-boys university in Japan.
•While internal progression is the norm, external admission slots exist for high school transfers and general university entrance/transfer exams. Each stage involves tests and interviews, but suitability for communal living is given the highest priority.

◻︎Location and Environment
•Located in a naturally rich hilly area far from urban centers, the campus features forests, a lake, a stream, and undulating walking paths.
•Access to the outside is limited to school buses from the nearest station and authorized vehicles, making it easy for the living sphere to be contained within the academy.

◻︎Educational Policy
•With self-reliance as the cornerstone of education, not only academic ability but also attitude towards life, manners, cooperation, and self-management are evaluated equally.
•It advocates for the coexistence of physical and mental strength with kindness, teaching that strength lies in self-discipline without oppressing others, and kindness lies in not indulging them easily.
•Conflicts and failures are affirmed as learning opportunities, emphasizing resolution through student autonomy (teachers intervene immediately in cases involving safety or human rights violations).

◻︎Facilities and Structure
•The high school building is made of red brick, exuding history and charm, characterized by its corridors, classrooms with wooden floors, and a grand auditorium with stained glass.
•The university side features modern research, information, and sports science buildings, equipped with extensive laboratories and training facilities.
•The central library is shared by the high school and university, with reading areas divided into quiet and social zones.
•Other shared facilities include a grand hall, sports grounds, a cafeteria, a medical center, a chapel, and a shop, supporting events and daily life.

◻︎Faculties and Career Paths (University)
•Faculties are narrowed down to a select few, such as the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology, and Information, Faculty of Education and Psychology, and Faculty of Sports Science. Leadership and management are compulsory subjects in each faculty, in addition to specialized education.
•While many students progress internally, the university recruits outstanding individuals from outside through general entrance exams and transfer slots. Many are students who have been at the academy since junior high, and a strong vertical network influences their careers and research.

◻︎Dormitory System
•The core of the academy is dormitory life, where "attitude towards life" influences relationships and evaluations more than academic performance.
•Dorms are equipped with common rooms, study rooms, dining halls, bathhouses, laundries, mini-gyms, and small libraries, allowing most daily needs to be met within the academy.
•The principle is double occupancy, but triple rooms are occasionally formed for odd-numbered grades, during room maintenance or reorganization, or for short-term residents. Triple rooms are temporary and typically resolved within a semester or a set period.

### High School Dormitories (Seirei High School Dormitories)
•All high school students are required to live in the dormitories. Life guidance is strict, with curfews, roll calls, study hours, and lights-out times established.
•Double rooms are the standard, and room changes may occur annually by grade. Compatibility between roommates directly impacts school life and provides opportunities for learning about human relationships.
•Operations are managed by dorm supervisors and student self-governance (dorm leaders, vice-leaders, floor leaders, etc.), and conflicts are first resolved within the dorm.

### University Dormitories (Seirei University Dormitories)
•The university maintains a full boarding system but offers greater freedom. Double rooms are standard, but semi-private or private rooms may be assigned based on academic performance or position.
•Curfews are lenient, but strict penalties are imposed for noise, drinking, overnight stays, and external troubles. It functions as a "self-management space" where freedom and responsibility coexist.
•Buildings and operations are completely separate from the high school dorms, with interaction primarily through official events, clubs, and student government activities.

•Shared facilities (library, cafeteria, grounds, etc.) are accessible to both high school and university students, but with designated hours and areas, requiring student ID and dorm ID (color-coded).
•Boundaries are relaxed during school festival preparation periods, but ID checks and curfews must be strictly observed. Night patrols are intensified, and the disciplinary committee responds immediately to unauthorized wandering or dorm entry.

◻︎Disciplinary Committee and Inspection Bureau
•The high school's Disciplinary Committee is primarily responsible for night patrols, ID checks, violation records, escorting curfew violators, and initial response to access violations. Educational guidance is provided, but disciplinary decisions are made by dorm supervisors, teachers, and dorm meetings.
•The university's Inspection Bureau, within the student government, monitors noise, drinking, and external troubles, minimizing impact on the high school. Reported cases are escalated to dorm supervisors, teachers, and the academy council.
•In emergencies, the Disciplinary Committee/Inspection Bureau handles "restraint, isolation, and reporting for safety assurance," but physical searches and private punishment are strictly forbidden.

•University students primarily wear casual clothing. However, for campus ceremonies and external events, they wear a school emblem pin or a jacket with the school emblem to signify their status as "Seirei students."

◻︎Club Activities and Athletic Achievements
•Both sports and cultural clubs are active. The track and field club is a consistent national contender, with a tradition in long-distance running, and the early morning dorm runs are a campus spectacle.
•Other notable clubs include soccer, kendo, and swimming, which are designated for intensive development, with club activities closely linked to dormitory discipline.
•The university's Faculty of Sports Science integrates athletic research with practical applications like form analysis and nutritional guidance.

◻︎School Festival (Seirei Festival)

•Dorm-vs-dorm competitions (cooking contests, plays, food stalls, game events, etc.) are a highlight, with dorm colors reflected in応援旗 (cheering flags) and costumes.
•Operations are student-led, with support from the student government, dorm supervisors, and teachers. Students are responsible for cleanup.

◻︎Sports Day (Athletic Festival)
•Held in autumn, the high school's athletic festival features many events competing for "physical strength and unity," such as grade-level relays, tug-of-war, kaba-sen (horse-fighting), and bōtōshi (stick-toppling).
•The university focuses on major-specific competitions and alumni rivalries, with many events requiring strategy, such as long-distance road races and scavenger hunts.
•There are also events where high school and university representatives form joint teams (e.g., ekiden-style relays), with cheering battles and dorm-specific cheering flags being a specialty. The entire campus transforms into a competition venue.

◻︎University Circle and Hobby Group Rules
•Official circles require approval from the number of members, activity achievements, and faculty advisors. They receive activity subsidies and priority use of facilities from the academy.
•Smaller hobby groups can register as circles, receiving no budget subsidies and utilizing shared facilities during off-peak hours.
•In cases of dangerous behavior or rule violations, the Disciplinary Committee (high school) and Inspection Bureau (university), along with the student government, will investigate and recommend improvement guidance, suspension, or dissolution.
•Circle leaders are expected to be role models in dormitory life, and the student government intervenes in adjustments if dormitory discipline and activities conflict.

◻︎Rumors and Urban Legends
•Ghost stories are passed down through generations, such as a secret room in the basement of the old school building or ghosts in the dormitory hallways.
•There is a "Love-Fulfilling Bench" in the courtyard, with separate confession legends for the high school and university. Debates and investigations occur annually over which legend is true.
•There are also superstitions like "If a graduate throws their school emblem badge onto the school gate on graduation night, their wish will come true."

◻︎Alumni Network
•The alumni network is strong, providing career counseling and job placement support from the time students are enrolled.
•There are alumni associations for clubs and dorms, who support current students through donations and guidance. In return, current students respect the advice and life experience of alumni.

◻︎Daily Life
•In high school, "discipline and care" are emphasized as a "protected cage," while the university focuses on "freedom and responsibility." The atmosphere gradually changes.
•Dormitory compatibility significantly impacts school life success, and the close proximity creates dramatic human relationships. Fights may occur, but it's not uncommon for students to head to club activities or classes together the next morning.
•Students grow into adults amidst academics, club activities, self-governance, events, and gossip, being shaped by Seirei's unique values and hierarchical society.
