Figure 1.--Toin Gauken began as a male university (1964). A secondary followed and next a primary (elementary) school (1967). A gurls' 'club' was added (1981). It would not be until much later that the school became fully coeducational (2018-19). Here we see boys and girls permorming togethrer (2019).

In 1964, Toin Gakuen founded. Toin Gakuen High School opened. The school moto as 'private education that public education cannot do'. At this time a high school opened. Classes are organized according to ability (proficiency level) from the beginning, and classes are provided according to ability. In 1965, a technical college (boys' school) was opened (closed in 1991. In 1966, the junior high school was opoened. in 1967, an elementary (primary) school was opened. In 1969, the kindergarten was opened. In 1981, the girls' club was established. The girls school is reffered to as aclub, because obly regular cklasses were offered. We are not sure why this was called a club, perhaps it inckuded smaller numbers thgan the boys. in 1987, the recruitment of technical colleges was suspended and Toin University of Yokohama was established. Opened the German Toin Academy in 1992 (closed in 2012). In 1988, the Memorial Hall (now: Toin Gakuen) was completed to provide students more experiences wiyh the arts. In April 2001, following the 1998 revision of the School Education Law (establishment of a "secondary school") to specialize in taking examinations at difficult universities, Toin Gakuen Junior High School, a large school (approximately 180 boys in 4 classes) were separated from high school and set up as a secondary school, Toin Gakuen Secondary School. The school building is on the same site, and in the 6th grade (3rd year of high school), classes are held jointly with high schools and girls' clubs. The facilities and grounds of the school building are shared, and uniforms are the same. In 2018-19, the school became fully coeducational.
