And learning to forgive and respect each other is an essential part of being able to live in community.
Love Earth
We practice organic farming. We have classroom education in agriculture and we do not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides on the farm. We emphasize the importance of agroecology in our agriculture carriculum. The farm consists of six departments: rice production, vegetables, fruits, dairy production, poultry production, and pork production. Safe and delicious food produced here is at the students' table on a daily basis.

Greetings from the Principal, Moriyuki Murakami
Aino Agricultural High School is a small agricultural High School based on the spirit of Christianity and a three-love spirit of "love God, people, and the earth." This three love spirit is personality education by learning the Bible and worship, it is about putting emphasis on agricultural education to think about soil making centered on organic farming and communal living with a boarding system. Of course, the three love spirits do not force the students to have faith. Thoughts and Faith must be freely chosen. We hope students learn through worship the meaning and the reason why our school has been built. We want the students to know the reason and the spirit we cherish. Students gather from all over Japan and from abroad. We cooperate with each other on this hill, learn together, build friendship and feelings of gratitude. To junior high school students and parents, we welcome you to come and meet our lively students.
