Entrance Ceremony On September 4, 2019, the entire school community gathered in the Speakers’ Hall to welcome the new students and celebrate the start of the 2019-2020 academic year. The event began with the procession of excited new students, who took their seats in the auditorium. The ceremony address was delivered by the President, Dr. Townsend. In his speech, Dr. Townsend explained how the academy was undergoing major reforms. A key focal point of these reforms was in the area of boarding with the implementation of a house system. This boarding paradigm vertically integrates all grades into a series of houses, which incorporates commuters as well. The goal is to foster a close-knit community, which achieves harmony through a better sense of self-awareness. The congratulatory speech was given by the President of Keio Gijuku, Professor Haseyama. President Haseyama stated how he fervently wishes that these educational reforms will nurture individuals who can easily navigate and lead in a global society. Professor Kokuryo, a Vice President of Keio Gijuku and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of Keio Academy, announced the Sakata Scholarship winners in the senior class. After an uplifting performance of the Keio Alma Mater, the Entrance Ceremony transitioned to a brief orientation session.
