The History of SEIFU
SEIFU consists of Seifu Gakuen JHS and SHS and Seifu Nankai Gakuen JHS and SHS. Seifu was originally founded as a private technical institute in 1932. Dr. Toho  Hiraoka was one of the trustees. In 1945, it became a  lower secondary school under the old educational system.
 Dr. Hiraoka was the first headmaster and chairman of the  board of trustees. In 1948, in accordance with the extensive postwar reform of the educational system in Japan,  SEIFU was given full senior high school status and the  right to establish a junior high school as well. Seifu Gakuen JHS and SHS were founded in their present  location later that year. In 1950, the school buildings were heavily damaged by Typhoon Jane and new buildings were constructed in the following years. In 1963, Seifu Nankai Gakuen SHS was established in a southern suburb of Osaka, and Seifu Nankai Gakuen JHS was opened in 1983. SEIFU has more than 50,000 alumni.
