The founding spirit of Tamura Gakuen is "plain and tidy, cheerful and enterprising, thankful and volunteering." It was established with the aim of forming the rich individual character of each student and raising capable persons with a global sense and a liberal heart.
With the aim of training women in business who can contribute to society, Tamura Gakuen established the Meguro Commercial Women's School in 1937 and has been involved in women's education with a kindergarten and an affiliated junior college as well. Recently, Tamura Gakuen has changed from being strictly a women's school into the coeducational Meguro Junior and Senior High Schools affiliated with Tama University through integrated education, including a curriculum that prepares its students for entry into Tama University and other universities.
