St. Margaret's Junior College

The precursor of the school was founded by Channing Moore Williams and other Anglican missionaries in Yushima, Bunkyo, Tokyo in 1877.

In 1882 the school moved to the Tsukiji foreign settlement (today's Akashicho) close to the current site of St. Luke's International Hospital.

Named in honor of St. Margaret of Scotland, the college wasclosely affiliated with the Anglican Church in Japan.

The site in Suginami-ku shared extensive grounds, sports, chapel and modern performance facilities with St. Margaret's girls primary, junior and senior high schools.

The construction of the historic St. Margaret's Chapel dedicated in 1932 was financed by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Episcopal Church.
