International Christian University High School
International Christian University High School opened in 1978 as an institution primarily geared toward educating returnee students. Located just to the north of the ICU campus, ICU High School aims to cultivate compassionate human resources who respect human rights in the spirit of Christ's teachings. At the core of ICU High School's educational policy is a commitment to uniting returnee students who have experienced life in different cultures and students who were raised in Japan in a mutually beneficial learning environment and working to nurture the unique identity of each and every student.
ICU High School has several distinctive features. Returnee students comprise roughly two-thirds of the student body, for example, and the school also emphasizes small-group education in a level-based class curriculum. Many classes at ICU High School eschew conventional boundaries to create a more open environment where students can ask questions freely and learn with enthusiasm. ICU High School students tend to demonstrate a strong motivation to continue their schooling, with nearly all students moving on to universities after graduation. ICU also accepts deserving students who have received recommendations from ICU High School.

Japan ICU Foundation (JICUF)
The Japan ICU Foundation (JICUF) is an independent educational foundation based in New York City. JICUF supports ICU's efforts to foster internationalism and Christianity in order to evolve its liberal arts education.
Mission Statement
The Japan ICU Foundation works with ICU to nurture global citizens who will contribute to the well-being of humanity.
Vision Statement
JICUF envisions a community of global citizens who actively contribute to a peaceful and sustainable future for humanity. These global citizens are critical thinkers and effective communicators, comfortable traversing cultural and national boundaries. They have a firm ethical compass and a commitment to the common good. They are inspired by ICU's Christian heritage and the universal values of peace, justice, equality, freedom and love.
The mission statement is the primary objective of JICUF, and the vision statement describes the long term outcome JICUF strives to achieve. The statements were carefully drafted by the JICUF board and staff as part of a strategic planning process. In addition, we are also pleased to share four key organizational goals that stem from the mission and vision.
- Global Exchange - Increase opportunities for intercultural and international exchange.
- Capacity Building - Nurture students' critical thinking skills and real world competencies.
- Value-Based Decision Making - Develop students' core values that are crucial to principle-based decision making.
- Inspired Action - Challenge students to take actions that are reflective of core values and that benefit society.
International Christian University Alumni Association
The International Christian University (ICU) Alumni Association consists of approximately 25,000 graduates of ICU undergraduate or graduate programs, with 11 chapters in Japan and 18 chapters in cities abroad. ICU students are associate members of the
Alumni Association while enrolled at the university and then become full members upon graduating.
In addition to holding general meetings, study sessions, and get-togethers and actively promoting friendly, informative interaction among members through
its website and publications, the Alumni Association also supports activities and scholarships for current students by organizing "Dream Competitions," job-seeking consultation sessions, and more. The ICU Alumni Association President also sits on the
University Board of Trustees, while members have occasional meetings with the university; this involvement allows the Alumni Association to maintain strong connections with ICU and contribute to the development of the university through fundraising and
other initiatives.
All Alumni Association activities are funded by membership fees and donations. Association operations are conducted via monthly meetings of the Association Board of Trustees, which includes the President, Vice President, and up
to 30 other Trustees selected from Association membership every two years, and biannual meetings of the Council, which comprises Councilors representing each class of alumni. The Alumni Association Office and Lounge are located on the second floor of
the Alumni House on the ICU campus.
International Christian University Church
ICU Church is an interdenominational Japanese and English speaking congregation consisting of people not only from the university but from the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Sunday sermons are always given in either English or Japanese with translation. Church groups and activities include a choir, Sunday School program (for kindergarten through high school), university student association, and Bible study program, and others. Chapel members also use their time, talents, and gifts to assist with services, music, education, evangelism, welfare activities, communion, and more.
ICU Service Co., Ltd.
ICU Service Co., Ltd., which was established on July 1, 2010, is a wholly owned subsidiary of School Juridical Person International Christian University (ICU). The company was founded to support the educational and research activities of ICU and ICU High School and help expand the range of services available to the student community. The company's main activities range from overseeing purchasing and procurement, housing arrangements, insurance matters, and vending machine management to providing support services for weddings, receptions, and other gatherings held on campus.
