About

The school traces its origin to 1932 when a bishop from the Paris Foreign Missions Society opened Fukuoka Christian Theological Seminary for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fukuoka. In 1934 upon recognition by the prefect governor of Fukuoka it was named Hirao Academy. In 1936 it was renamed Taisei Junior High School. In 1946 the Catholic Marian Association took charge of the school. In 1948 the high school opened and in 1951 the Taizon Academy School Corporation was formed. In 1959 the junior high school closed. In 1969 the Fukuoka Diocese again took control of the school, and moved it to its present location in 1974.
