[edit] History
In 1937, Yonekichi Koga (古賀米吉 Koga Yonekichi) opened the school in Motokitakata, Ichikawa, Chiba. That was the beginning of Ichikawa Gakuen. The school had only male students since after the last war; however, the school became coeducational when the school moved to its present location in the spring of 2003.
The school has relationships with John McGlashan College in Dunedin, New Zealand, as well as others in Shanghai, China and Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
